Description Christopher Hertel 2007-10-19 20:53:46 UTC 
See also bug numbers 309022, 329203, and 332182.

One solution given is to recompile the kernel with gcc 4.1.0.  That results in:

init/main.c:81:2: error: #error gcc-4.1.0 is known to miscompile the kernel. A different compiler version is recommended.
make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

Reading through the above listed bug reports I see that I can try to install gcc-4.1.2_20070115-2.1.i586.rpm.  When I download and attempt to install that package, however, I get a list of additional packages that are required.

This is getting unnecessarily complex, and I still can't run VMware or recompile a broken module or do much of anything useful with my system.

Is there a clear set of instructions for installing the recommended fix?
