Subject: More SLS 1.03 problems. Kernel make breaks.
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1993 21:54:28 GMT

I have just installed SLS 1.03 retrieved from tsx-11.mit.edu on the
afternoon of Sept 17.

I had the same "noise" problems others have noted (e.g. TeX install
complaining because some files are directories or some such...)
however, the real problem comes when I try to rebuild the kernel.

I have a 3com ethernet controller connected to a thickwire network. I
am used to the fact that the ec503 driver is built for the thinwire
conenctor, and needs the EL2_AUI symbol turned on. (That's ok, most
Linux users probably want the thin instead of the thick wire, and I
have no problem rebuilding kernels... until today, that is...)

make config -> with "y" to most questions...
make dep
make zImage

and when it gets to tty_io.c

tty_io.c: In function `int tty_select (struct msdos_inode_info::inode*, struct ifs_file_info::file*, int, struct select_table_struct*)':
tty_io.c:1420: Internal Compiler Error.
tty_io.c:1420: Please submit a full bug report to `bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu'.

This was a "clean" build of SLS onto new partitions, not an upgrade of
an earlier version.

This is the first SLS release where I haven't been able to do at least
a kernel rebuild. I have tried to just use gcc rather than the c++ mode, but
that causes many more problems. I have tried a few different 'make config'
runs trying small vs large kernels, (though tty_io.c shouldn't be affected
by much that can be done with make config) and am out of ideas.

I can still get stuff from the net via a Sun (though the Sun's floppy is SOOO
slow...) if needed.

Any suggestions??
