Re: Kernel Compile error

It seems like you bumped into a little bug in the linux kernel (at least, that's what google says, see the top link at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=undef … htool_gset )

I already sent a patch for this for 2.5 but I didn't know the problem
also exists in 2.4. The following patch fixes it:

--- linux-2.4.20-test/drivers/net/Makefile.old    2002-11-29 17:46:47.000000000 +0100
+++ linux-2.4.20-test/drivers/net/Makefile    2002-11-29 17:47:22.000000000 +0100
@@ -122,6 +122,7 @@
obj-$(CONFIG_MAC8390) += daynaport.o 8390.o
obj-$(CONFIG_APNE) += apne.o 8390.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET) += 8390.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_SMC91C92) += mii.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SHAPER) += shaper.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SK_G16) += sk_g16.o
obj-$(CONFIG_HP100) += hp100.o


Zwane changed this driver to use the MII support library but he
accidentially forgot that this requires mii.o.

Re: Kernel Compile error

well the files i got from JK worked (the kernel compiled) but it would not boot something about it being too big. When i get home from vac. i am going to try and apply the prepatch my self and see what i get


if any of you want to try and fix JK's files or tell me what im doing wrong  the files are http://jk.yazzy.org/PKGBUILD and http://jk.yazzy.org/kernel.patch


please post replys in this form.
