Your problem may not be just the toolchain. Actually, it does boot, but the Ethernet card reports that the receiver overflows, and I end up not connected to the net. In the August Red Hat release, the log shows a message about detecting "Receiver lock-up bug" and enables the workaround that exists in the code (even in test10) but my kernel fails to detect the problem, so the workaround doesn't get enabled, and my eth0 ends up non-functional as a result. Have you seen or heard of this? - Scott ----------------------------- Scott Hankin In the beginning, there was nothing, then Rational Software God said, "Let there be light." And there 20 Maguire Road was light. There was still nothing, but Lexington, MA 02421 you could see it a lot better.
