Hi,

I have just installed a vanilla 2.4.16 kernel onto a redhat 7.1 system.
After compiling and rebooting, I realised I was missing something so went
and re-configured the kernel and started the compile again. I then got loads
of errors and the make crashed.It was running fine with 2.4.8 prior to this.

Below is one of the errors in my messages file!

A few minutes later I got an error that init had crashed and so the kernel
crashed! Every time after I rebooted I got this error whil the drives were
being fscked. I have attached my config file for the kernel and a copy of
dmesg.
