I attempted to patch the 2.4.17 kernel with latest version of jfs.
running the following on a debian box:
patch -p1 /tmp/jfs/jfs-2.4.common-1.0.12-patch
patch -p1 /tmp/jfs/jfs-2.4.17-1.0.12-patch
both patches applied without error, but upon compiling i received the
error:
vers/md/mddev.o \
net/network.o \
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/arch/i386/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
--end-group \
-o vmlinux

fs/fs.o(.text.lock+0x920): undefined reference to `local symbols in
discarded section .text.exit'
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
thinking perhaps the problem was caused by debian patches introduced
into the stock kernel I downloaded the stock kernel from kernel.org.
Here though a stranger problem arose, patch simply froze up and
provided no output even when using the verbose option. I am fairly
new to patching kernels but I have compiled kernels on this box
before without any problems, including 2.4.17. Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
