HI! I`m trying to compile with gcc-2.97 current. The compilation is noproblem,did not have any error . but the kernel does not running. The singleCPU kernel is well. When I used gcc-2.95.3 and the same kernel source, The SMP kernel-2.4.0 is well working with gcc-2.95.3. My system is linuxppc. Kaoru
