Micro$will's Journal: Fedora Kernel Broken

Compiling a kernel on a stock non-smp Fedora Core 1 system results in a compile failure, usually involving active_load_balance or some shit. This is probably unrelated to the broken xconfig issues I've experienced with stock kernels.

The quick fix is after 'make menuconfig' and setting everything up is to 'make oldconfig' which fixes the .config file. Alternatively, you can either run 'make menuconfig' twice (loading and saving the old config), or manually wipe out these two lines in the .config file after running it once:

CONFIG_SHARE_RUNQUEUE=y
CONFIG_MAX_NR_SIBLINGS=2

I love obscurely documented bullshit.
