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

Subject: [INFO] gcc versions used to compile a kernel
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
