I have just finished compiling both the 2.6.6 and 2.6.8 kernels and there appears to be a bug in the radeon_state piece of code in the 2.6.8 kernel that is absent in the 2.6.6 kernel. I receive the following compilation errors (2.6.8)
CC drivers/char/drm/radeon_state.o drivers/char/drm/radeon_state.c: In function `radeon_cp_cmdbuf': drivers/char/drm/radeon_state.c:2316: warning: implicit declaration of function `drm_alloc' drivers/char/drm/radeon_state.c:2316: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast drivers/char/drm/radeon_state.c:2416: warning: implicit declaration of function `drm_free' That are absent from the compilation of 2.6.6. This leads to drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x51d71): In function `radeon_cp_cmdbuf': : undefined reference to `drm_free' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x51daf): In function `radeon_cp_cmdbuf': : undefined reference to `drm_free' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x524a7): In function `radeon_cp_cmdbuf': : undefined reference to `drm_alloc' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 I can remove these errors by not using the CONFIG_DRM_RADEON option. In the make menuconfig proceedure, this amounts to just saying no to ATI Radeon in the Character devices menu that is under the Device Drivers option of the main menu.
