The last days I had a lot of trouble getting different kernel 
versions to run. Enclosed is a short report of the experience I made.

First I tried to compile all kernels with gcc 3.3.1.

2.4.20 I even couldn't compile.
2.4.22-ac4 compiled well but oopsed immediately after booting.
2.6.0-test4 and test5 compiled well but didn't boot and froze with a 
blank screen.
2.6.0-test6 compiled well but froze after starting /sbin/init.

Then I used gcc 2.95.3 for compiling 2.4.20, 2.4.22-ac4 and 2.6.0-
test7 and all kernels booted smoothly.

It's seems that at least in my configuration gcc 3.3.1 is doing a bad 
job.

Dear Sebastian,

This is very interesting as I've been compiling kernels with GCC 3.2.0 
and higher since the first beta I compiled. I've never had the issues 
that you are describing with kernel 2.5.70 and higher and 2.6.0 test 1> 
6. This most likly is a machine related problem. Which Linux distibution 
are you using and how uptodate is the rest of the machine.

Best regards,

Stef

I'm using a SuSE 8.20 distribution (kernel 2.4.20). The system is 
regularly updated with SuSE online update. The only things I changed 
are:
mdadm v1.3.0
gcc 2.95.3

Depending on the particulars of your distribution, you might need to
upgrade your binutils:

I'm using binutils version 2.13.
