The 'typos' are the observed errors from extracting kernel source tarball, renaming top level directory and extracting tarball again. Other times extraction fails with corrupt tarball error. Cached image of tarball is corrupted as box doesn't go back to server. Since first report I've changed to using ext2 target filesystem, still get errors, so not reiserfs specific either. Am in process of reducing options in kernel config, try to narrow down what problem is. Nothing in logs, me have no idea ... yet. Not a memory error as box compiled many hundred kernels last week without choking. Test just now was with 2.6.13-rc6-git3, very repeatable. Same test on different box, no errors. Other box has pro/100 NIC, reiserfs, unpack tarball from same server. Never a problem. Cheers, Grant.
