Strange error compiling a custom kernel...

Here is the error i get when compiling a custom kernel (i tried both 2.6.22 from core and 2.6.23 from testing):

init/built-in.o: In function 'start_kernel':
(.init.text.0x836): undefined reference to 'early_populated_rootfs'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinuz1] Error 1

i have no idea of what it the problem, the config file it's the same i've used for all my 2.6.22 kernels, any idea?

Thank you.

Re: Strange error compiling a custom kernel...

This kind of error is when you forget to add a source file to gcc comand line during compilation. I think that problem might be in one of broken Makefiles in kernel tree. Maybe some patch messed with them. Try to download fresh kernel sources.

Got it, removing the acpi-dsdt patch solved my problem, maybe it can help someone else in the future ^^

Thank you
