I'm attempting to build/test the rc1 of 2.6.23 from kernel.org. I have built it with both gcc3.4 and 4.1 using the binutils from unstable.The last kernel I built from kernel.org (and the kernel I am running) is 2.6.21-rc5 (using gcc4). I built that before I updated the binutils. I would expect for there to be at least a few lines output to the console before the boot fails, instead
I get the "uncompressing" message and it just hangs at that point.I did notice via a google search that the gentoo/alpha port has been having issues
with aboot and newer kernels.At this point I am rebuilding the kernel I have been using since April using my current toolchain.
I'll keep you posted. ...tom This was bnuilt Steve Langasek wrote:

Please define "updated kernel", and indicate which kernels have worked for you on this system in the past.
