[Bug 49359] kernel oops during kernel rebuild - Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00004005

[rick beldin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.15-23-386-di

System is a AMD Athlon XP 1900+ with 1.5gb of ram, 250 gb Seagate hd,
Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440.  System was running stable with Breezy for many
months and I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper after June 1st using the
update-manager.

A third party package I use requires that the kernel be rebuilt with CONFIG_REGPARMS set so I downloaded linux-source-2.6.15-23 and all the necessary kernel 'stuff' needed to rebuild.    I had done this successfully on this same machine with 2.6.12-10 and had no problems. 
Third party module I use is also built with gcc 3, so I install gcc-3.4

After cd'ing to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15-2.6.15 and doing:

MAKEFLAGS="CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4" dpkg-buildpackage -B -uc -us

The system generated an oops.

I had seen this once before but was unable to capture it since it looked
the graphics head.  At the time of the above crash I had unmounted all
fs except / and had disabled gdm so I could see the contents of the
console.

The system is still apparently somewhat functional as I am typing this
from the same boot session.

filesystem is clean, fsck shows no issues.
