Gurol, Just s few comments:
Does not some Debian release support a 2.4 kernel? If you really *must* use a 2.2 kernel, LiS 2.8, 2.10 and 2.12 ran nicely on 2.2 kernels. Most of the changes since 2.10 or 2.12 have been related to 2.4 kernels. Was there something from 2.16 that you thought you really needed? That is, if you need to run on a 2.2 kernel why not use 2.10 or 2.12? --brian On Tue, 27 May 2003, Gurol Akman wrote: > > Summary of outstanding LiS 2.16.8 compilation problems under Debian > GNU/Linux 3.0r1 (Sparc) w/ 2.2.20 kernel: > > > > 1. cannot compile 'head/linux/exports.c' due to undefined > 'lis_pcibios_*' symbols > > 2. cannot compile 'drivers/str/linux/ip_to_dlpi.c' due to undefined > 'net_device' struct > > > > My problems related to missing 'modversions.h' file seem to be caused > by incomplete 2.2.20 kernel source installation procedures (My > mistake!).
