:  I too am having kernel problems with the 2.0 version, but mine occurs
:when I try to do a make zImage.  The error is something like this:
:
:gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.2.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c
:cc1: Invalid option `align-loops=2'
:cc1: Invalid option `align-jumps=2'
:cc1: Invalid option `align-functions=2'
:make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
:
:I have gcc 2.6.3 like the file said, but it didn't say anything about updating
:anything else.  I'm sure it has to do with something that isn't updated
:so does anyone know exactly or (somewhat exactly) what I need in order to
:"run" the kernel.

The -malign* command-line options are used for pentium-specific optimisation.
gcc 2.6.3 doesn't support those options. Upgrade your gcc. You probably need
to upgrade libc, binutils and other binaries. Please read
Documentation/changes.txt im the kernel sources after you upgrade.

BTW, thanks Chris for writing the changes file, I'm sure it has saved us a
lot of posts asking why "NFS breaks".
