Hi,

My kernel compilation is aborting with the following error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/scsi.a drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a drivers/sound/sound.a drivers/pci/pci.a \
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
-o vmlinux
arch/i386/mm/mm.o: In function `search_exception_table':
arch/i386/mm/mm.o(.text+0xbd3): undefined reference to
`__start___ex_table'
arch/i386/mm/mm.o(.text+0xbd8): undefined reference to
`__stop___ex_table'
arch/i386/mm/mm.o(.text+0xbde): undefined reference to
`__stop___ex_table'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I've installed thus far on my system:

libc-5.4.23
libg++-2.7.2.1
binutils-2.7.0.9
modutils-2.1.23
mount-2.6b-1.i386.rpm
sysvinit-2.69
gcc 2.7.2.1
ld.so-1.8.9
Redhat 4.0 distribution

I'm also a little nervious about the sysvinit install. I should have
done the non-destructive install but I didn't. However I did backup my
orginal sysvinit binaries. If you've ever installed sysvinit-2.69 on
any redhat distribution please let me know if there were any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
