compiling 2.6.25, a problem

I have been wanting to compile my own kernel for a while, but since 2.6.25 was so near, I decided to wait for it.  That said, 2.6.25 is now out, so I got to configuring and compiling.

Anyone know what I need to do to rectify this error?  Could it be a dependency issue (couldn't find a list of dependencies for compiling this kernel), or is it perhaps a bug on the file mentioned in the error?

CC [M]  net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ecn.o

Re: compiling 2.6.25, a problem

Don't beat me if I'm wrong on this one, got no sources to colaborate this.

I remember something about the later kernels not compiling with gcc 4.3.0.
I'd recommend you check your gcc version (gcc -v) and if it's 4.3.0 try upgrading it to 4.4.0.

Not sure if there is a release in the archlinux repositories. Can't find any updates on mine anyways.
Hope it helps in some way though.

Re: compiling 2.6.25, a problem

It's kernel 2.6.24 (and older) that needs the gcc 4.3 patch, to be "reliable". Kernel 2.6.25 already includes this patch.

Want to be bleeding-edge, outside of the farcical "KISS" arrangement where make menuconfig fails on the installed kernel? Run upgradekernel, then compilekernel, and here's alsa-driver-checkout if you want the Mercurial ALSA (which didn't compile last time I tried, so it's safer to exclude it).

The scripts include some waffle, but the waffle includes some interesting links, so I've kept them as-is

Edit: Added "and older"

I guess somebody already told you this, but we do not install a full kernel source with Arch, thus make menuconfig and similar won't work with it. Download the full source if you want to configure/compile things.

Re: compiling 2.6.25, a problem

assuming that you have vanilla 2.6.25
check if "ecn" match support and ECN target support are set
otherwise it builds fine.

not sure what these scripts (upgradekernel and compilekernel) have to do with iptables problems. Not to mention that there is no point for some of the patches to be added.

kernel 2.6.25 in now in testing. You could use the config file as starting point.

Re: compiling 2.6.25, a problem

has anyone tried to enable the stackprotector?
I've found after some googleing that my issue with the stackprotector is a known "bug" on some distro...i've tried to patch the file /kernel/panic.c as suggested by Ingo Molnar by anything changed.
The problem is that after having correctly booted my system is unstable and goes very often in kernel panic - not syncing...
I'm trying different configurations but up to know nothing changed.
