Hi there, I tried to patch my Linux kernel 2.4.20-8 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (on redhat 9) with the linux-ppscsi patch so that I can add my parallel port scanner to my pc.
I started as follows in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/ directory step 1. patch -p1 < linux.ppscsi.patch step 2. make menuconfig to ensure SCSI suppoer and parallel port support step 3. make dep step 4. make bzImage step 5. make modules then error occures at step 5 as shown below: +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/dcache.h: In function `dget': /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/dcache.h:254: warning: implicit declaration of function `__out_of_line_bug_R8b0fd3c5' cpufreq.c: In function `cpufreq_parse_policy': cpufreq.c:111: warning: implicit declaration of function `sscanf_R859204af' cpufreq.c: In function `cpufreq_proc_read': cpufreq.c:225: warning: implicit declaration of function `sprintf_R1d26aa98' cpufreq.c: In function `cpufreq_proc_init': cpufreq.c:327: warning: implicit declaration of function `printk_R1b7d4074' cpufreq.c: In function `cpufreq_restore_Re39890df': cpufreq.c:1109: warning: implicit declaration of function `panic_R01075bf0' cpufreq.c: At top level: cpufreq.c:192: warning: `cpufreq_setup' defined but not used make[1]: *** [cpufreq.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/kernel' make: *** [_mod_kernel] Error 2 +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Can anybody help me out with this thing as i really need to get that scanner going? I have no clue how to solve this type of error and everybody on the redhat mailing list is clueless too!
