Well, I've filed an incident report (btw, Mandrake soft should *REALLY*
streamline their bugtracking facilities, it's too painful to report
any problem right now) but it seems that nobody's interested (which
is strange, since it looks like a major nuisance to me).
I really don't know what else can we do.
I'm going off the list now, so please, Cc: me from now on.
Thanks,
Roman.

Here's what I get when both ide-scsi.c and ide-cd.c are enabled:
$ make bzImage
ld -m elf_i386 .
drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o(.data+0x77c): multiple definition of `ignore'
drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.data+0xb9c): first defined here
This is quite understandable, since both files have 'ignore' as a external
symbol, and they clash.
Note, that in the latest patches for 2.4.21 the situation is resolved,
by guarding one of the symbols with #ifdef MODULE
$ cat drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.c
...
+#ifdef MODULE
+/* options */
+char *ignore = NULL;
+
+MODULE_PARM(ignore, s);
+#endif
+
this, of course, prevents symbols from clashing. I consider this to be
a pretty serious bug (one without a workaround) and would like to
get a resolution from mandrake.
Same problem here, but I thinked it was a problem of the glib, or gcc (
problem during upgrade, lots of old binary lying around ).
You should post a bugreport, I will vote for it.
I think that mandrake should post a new kernel, for this probem, and for ACL's
one.
