I recently upgraded to
ld.so-1.9.2
binutils-2.8.0.3
libc-5.4.28 (shared, develop and static)
I've done this often and did not expect problems.
I used (of course) the binary distributions.
I did read and follow all release* notes.
I also installed, for the first time,
locale-5.4.28-2.i386.rpm (I use RedHat).
After this I could compile libc-5.4.28 myself with success, but I did
not install the the self compiled files.
I also upgraded to
libg++-2.7.2.1
After this I could compile very complex programs without any problems.
They also did run ;)
Until I upgraded from kernel 2.0.29 (which still worked and booted), to
2.0.30. I compiled this myself. (Note that I also have bin86-0.4).
The compile was successful as always, I installed the image, compiled and
installed the module, run /sbin/lilo etc... as I have done a million times
before. NOTE: I applied a few patches to the 2.0.30 source tree, this is
attached below as one single patch.
But, then after booting - the boot process crashed in rc.sysinit.
Firstly, any echo "blah blah" in rc.sysinit does NOT gave any output
anymore, which is weird. 'sleep' still worked (I used that to know where
it crashed - using a lot of sleeps and a stop watch ;).
I have a PPro200 with 64 megs ram. The /usr/src/linux/.config file is
included below.
I wrote the crash down on paper, here it is:
[ I added comments between square brackets ]
.....
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
INIT: version 2.64 booting
[ here a 'echo' output is missing ]
Adding Swap: 130748k swap-space (priority -1) [ this '(priority -1)' is unusual,
doesn't happen with kernel 2.0.29 ]

Please let me know if any more info is needed...
And PLEASE let me know if someone knows what is causing this, because it
sucks that I can't compile my own kernel anymore :( :( (Please CC me).
Carlo
PS I now recompiled stock 2.0.29 with the new binutils/libc etc, I'll let
you know if that works in the next mail.
