Re: Compilation linux-source-2.6.18
I have filed a bug (#429625). I don't need SMP. I just wanted to get the parallel port working. The easiest solution for me is probably just to stick with kernel 2.6.8 for a while.

I remember that with 2.6.8 a patch had to be applied to the standard debian source package for hppa but that seems to have disappeared. 2.6.18 has outstanding patches for every arch. But I don't know how debian kernels are built and where to get those patches. I suspect you are missing a step. Can you tell us where you got the kernel build instructions from? thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Compilation linux-source-2.6.18
Hello Grant, Thank you for looking at this. My build instructions come from the man page for make-kpkg. (Is that what you meant?) In other words what I did was: apt-get linux-source-2.6.14 unpack the archive make menuconfig make-kpkg --initrd linux-image That procedure should be common to all architectures, but in the previous release hppa was an exception. There was a separate package called something like kernel-patch-2.6.8-hppa which had to be manually applied. There is no such patch available in the latest release, so I assumed (until compilation failed) that the hppa-specific stuff had been incorporated into the standard debian kernel source package as for the other architectures. When you say you get the same thing with the linux-source-2.6.18 tar ball do you mean you tried it with the standard (non Debian) source code? That is interesting.

Well, hppa still needs such a patch for 2.6.18. Please file a bug against linux-source-2.6.18 package. Essentially the 4 offending lines need to be deleted in mm/init.c and recent SMP patches need to be backported. When you say you get the same thing with the linux-source-2.6.18 tar ball do you mean you tried it with the standard (non Debian) source code? That is interesting. No - I also installed linux-source-2.6.18 and unpacked the archive (.tar.bz2 file). If you are trying to build SMP kernel, my advice is to use parisc-2.6 git tree on git.kernel.org. Several SMP fixes went into that and seems to be fairly stable (outside of XFS problems). grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
