This should tell witch gcc version tha's uset to compile kernel 2.6.6
Are you sure you copyed the right kernel config?
the gcc version (2.95) is correct, i'd learnt which versio from an error message when i'd first tried to compile it.

the config cp was abit of a typo, i've corrected it to 'cp /boot/config-2.6.6 ./.config'

and it is the correct config, the only other one there is "config-2.4.26"

If i could get my hands in the 2.6.6 config file, maby i could take a look at it!
i'll try send it to you in a PM. i'll try your other suggestions in the morning thoguh as i can't leave the machine on overnight, it keeps me awake, and it takes a good hour or two to compile..

thanks for your help, i'm very new to linux as you must have guessed :)
