That was a compile error too: arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: `clear_page' undeclared here (not in a function) arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: initializer element is not constant arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: (near initialization for `__ksymtab_clear_page.value') arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: __ksymtab_clear_page causes a section type conflict make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.o] Error 1 After reverting the patch, the resulting kernel booted fine for me. By the way, I noticed that the automated OSDL PLM compile failed too: http://www.osdl.org/plm-cgi/plm?module=patch_info&patch_id=4361 Their .config was different from mine but it had both the compile failures I saw, plus some more.
