Bus error?

Greetings;

Cross-posted to the kde list and to lkml, answer either.

Running FC1, but with 2.6.x kernels and utils required (I think)

I first built, using konstruct, a kde3.2.3 install that worked great
for a couple of months.

In the meantime, I've been following the Linus and Andrew kernels,
and currently have 2.6.8-rc1 doing the chores here.

Eventually of course, since I like to bleed, I ran a cvs up -dP in
that konstruct working directory, and rebuilt it again, this time
totally destroying the 3.2.3 install so I'm back to running kde 3.2.

Here is the error I am now getting, from a fresh konstruct tree and
no cvs updateing done. So it should be the same as before as I don't
think the compiler has been touched by any of the yum updates.

Using make install in the konstruct/meta/kde directory as the build agent.

Now, theoreticly the only hardware change is that a cranky,
cold blooded old pny built nvidia gforce2 mx200 32 meg video
card finally puked all over itself and got replaced by an
Xtacy branded ati 9200 SE w/128 megs of dram on it.

I've built about 15 kernels now since buying this new card,
without errors. I rebuilt everything from 2.6.7 base plus
all the mm's getting the video card drivers setup, some of
them 4 or 5 times as I fumbled around.

So what is this bus error generally caused by?

Both video cards were agp slot cards FWIW.

I can reboot to as early as 2.6.7 and still get this exact error.
Earlier I'd have to rebuild with the new video card in them.
