We need some context to be able to figure that out.

the same for me.
I'm trying to build a complete system for my new Pentium M and the kernel compil crash here :

make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure
GEN .version
CHK include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure
UPD include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 139

i had this message after a first try. I don't know what happened and i don't know where i have to look for more informations...

If anyone can help...

DId you put a domainname in /etc/dnsdomainname as per this part of the handbook?

[baobab88]

No I'm following the hand book. Kernel Compilation is on chapter 7.
I won't use it anyway. I'm using a dhcp server which will give this information to the computer.

I'm trying to change some settings in the config but i don't have enough information to look for a real solution. I need more messages from the make process. Is there any log file with better error messages ?

You still need to setup the dnsdomainname to set your network group.
( i believe )

Actually, that's not a problem - I just completed four installs following the handbook, which doesn't command you to create /etc/dnsdomainname until after building the kernel. Chances are, the real error message happened somewhere before the posted context.

Do this:
1. Give us the name of the kernel package you're trying to build (e.g., gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r1)

2. Run these commands in /usr/src/linux:

Code: Select all

make clean
make -j1 &>makelog

3. Open up makelog and post all error messages and the commands that immediately precede them. For example, if you get

Code: Select all

GEN .version
CHK include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure

again, only post

Code: Select all

CHK include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure

[baobab88]

OK i've done make -j1 &> errorlog

here is what I get :

livecd linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r9 # tail errorlog
CC arch/i386/lib/usercopy.o
AR arch/i386/lib/lib.a
GEN .version
CHK include/linux/compile.h

UPD include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 139

there are several errors before this one :

Sorry about this mess... I should have i little research on the old message before posting ...
Well, there is a conflict with binutils compiled with aggressive flags :
-O3 seems to be a little dangerous ...
I have recompiled binutils without -O3 and some other tweakings and everything goes right now ...
