Message-Id: <20031221144427.57D00DAA81@mail.local.net> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I have a problem when trying to build a kernel. It appears that make menuconfig starts to loop - after writing "Preparing scripts: functions, parsing ...done." This is 2.4.23, jfs114, gcc3.3.2. What stuns me is - on this system I have *already* successfully built 2.4.23, and it is running just fine. This second build is for a different target system, and the sourcetree is (obviously) in a different directory. 1. /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.4.23 - no problems. /dev/hda1 2. /data1/linux -> /data1/linux-2.4.23 - loops. /dev/hda4 Filesystem in both cases is JFS. Unpack a vanilla kernel into eg. /data1/kk23/linux-2.4.23 and trying it there - same result. I haven't touched or replaced or done anything to ncurses, and lxdialog is new/rebuilt. I've straced the 'make menuconfig' and it is quite clearly looping. Can anyone point me in the right direction and help me try to solve this?? thanks, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.dansklisten.org
