kernel crash when compiling linux-4.1-rc2 with make -j20

[Andrew McDermott]

Kernel crash whilst building new kernel:

Steps to reproduce:

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/testing/linux-4.1-rc2.tar.xz
tar xf linux-4.1-rc2.tar.xz
cd linux-4.1-rc2/
make mrproper
make olddefconfig
make -j20

I noticed that the output from the build had stopped then noticed the following messages (via dmesg):

Does the kernel crash happen when compiling any kernel version or just 4.1-rc2?

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Also, can you boot into the Utopic kernel and try the compile to see if this is a regression?

[Andrew McDermott (frobware)]

I was going straight from 3.19 (ie., vivid) to 4-1-rc2 so don't know if it is applicable to just that version. I would be surprised if it was.

Regarding booting into utopic - I can try but it will be a while before I can unload my machine to put utopic back.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Does the kernel crash when compiling with 3.19 as well, or only the 4.1-rc2 kernel?

[Andrew McDermott (frobware)]

This was crashing with 3.19 (i.e., vivid's kernel).

I wanted to pick up most of vivid's kernel config and initiated my build on 3.19 with `make olddefconfig' .

I briefly tried with utopic and didn't see an issue - but take that with a pinch of salt as I only did one run and wanted to report based on a greater sample size.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

You can test Utopic again without a complete re-install. Just install the Utopic kernel from:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.16.0-37.51

Download/install the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb after selecting your arch under the "Builds" section. Then select the 3.16 kernel from the grub menu.
