SVN error: "Inconsistent newlines Inconsistent line ending style"

You might be having Unix & Windows style EOL (End of Line) in your file. Open the file in Notepad++ and go to Edit > EOL Conversion and switch your style to desired one if it is enabled. If not switch to a style available and then switch back to the style you need.

In Linxu try dos2unix.

Putty Error: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive X

This is a very annoying error message from Putty but mostly it goes off after a reboot.

lst was unexpected at this time - Windows batch file

Try removing all the special characters from your directory names where the batch file is placed.

c:\mydir(3.6)\mybat.bat was the case with me. The ( & ) in the directory name resulted in the error in my case.

Building Kernel - Warning: Alignment of vdso_data_store is greater than maximum object file alignment

Do you have the following error?

CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.c:81: warning: alignment of âvdso_data_storeâ is greater than maximum object file alignment.  Using 32768
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2

Then you might be using an older version of GCC. Usually GCC 4.1 and 4.2 gives this error and GCC 4.3+ should work fine. You can install 'Advance Toolchain 2.1-2' or newer to resolve this issue.
