kernel config

[Ian Wright <nospam [at] iw63.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm having linux problems and could do with a bit of advice.

My linux box died a couple of days ago due to me trying to install a
programme which required a library file that wasn't installed (libc.so.6).
It prevented me starting up linux in any form - I was on RedHat 5.2 . So I
decided that perhaps it was time to upgrade and try the newer version and
installed RedHat 6.1 with the 2.2.12 kernel. This went like a dream, they
have certainly improved the installation script. Then I decided I should
upgrade the kernel to the new 2.2.13 version with RTlinux real time
extensions which I need for engineering machine control and so downloaded
the ready patched kernel from FSMlabs. All appeared to be going well until I
got to the 'make bzImage' bit when it stalled at processing the first line
of code. Thinking it may have been a bad download, I then downloaded a clean
copy of the kernel only and the separate RTlinux 2.0 patch and tried again.
I got exactly the same result - 'make xconfig', 'make dep', and 'make clean'
went without a hitch but, when I got to 'make bzImage' it again stalled at
the first line of code.
Has anyone else had such an experience with this kernel or is it something I
am doing wrong??

Ian
