I just compiled 2.1.111 (UP) and got this message when I tried to boot it:
kernel panic: Could not allocate TCP control block
upon which it hung, saying "in swapper task, not syncing.".
Hardware: Toshiba Tecra 780DVD (PII 266, 128Mb RAM, laptop stuff, on a docking station
meaning it has 2 PCI busses - is this relevant?)
Software: Red Hat 5.1, gcc 2.7.2.3, all the necessary updates.
Config (extract, what else might be relevant?):
#
# Networking options
#
CONFIG_PACKET=y
# CONFIG_NETLINK is not set
# CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set
# CONFIG_NET_ALIAS is not set
# CONFIG_FILTER is not set
CONFIG_UNIX=y
CONFIG_INET=y
# CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set
# CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set
# CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set
# CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ALIAS is not set
# CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set
#
# Network device support
#
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
# CONFIG_ARCNET is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY=m
# CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
No ethernet drivers compiled in, this is a laptop.
