Re: upgrade kernel

Try using the compiler referenced here:

This leads to

I assume this is the optional gcc3.0 that comes with RHL 7.x.  It is unlikely
that this will work reliably, and I'm almost sure I can guarantee that it
won't work.  Use gcc 3.1 instead.

These are assembler messages.  You might need a newer assembler or a newer
gcc3.  I tried to reproduce this on a system with RHL 7.2 and did not see
this problem.  The system I tried has gcc version 3.0.4-1, and as version
2.11.90.0.8.  In any case, you are better off using gcc 3.1 instead.
