I'm trying to set up an old laptop as a server.
It's an Toshiba Satellite L350D-11S
Here are some specs
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 QL-60 (AMD Turion X2 series, 64-bit)
GPU: ATI Radeon 3100
Currently I'm on the latest amd64 CD
I downloaded the hardened stage3, selected the amd64/hardened
I emerged hardened-sources
At first I tried automatic compilation by genkernel
It eventually failed with some Section Mismatches
So I started over again - same errors
Then I tried configuring the kernel on my own in /usr/src/linux
I unticked many unused drivers (Soundcard drivers, OEM stuff...) so the compilation doesn't take as long on that slow CPU.
When I run make menuconfig it prints out a lot of (50 or so) Section Mismatches every 3-10 seconds or so.
All what I know about Section Mismatches is that they occur because of misconfigured code or something.
But the hardened-sources are maintained and updated by the Gentoo team. On top of that i see thousands of errors.
Like this: | Code: | | WARNING: path/to/fail.o(.data+0x?): Section mismatch in reference from the variable ? to the funciton .text:?() |
Is a faulty component the problem? For example, I don't really trust the 2,5" HDD, I've had a lot of them die on me.
I'll post later if that kernel boots
Thanks,
Keks  |
