Greg KH wrote: What about devices that are supported by more than one driver? How do you handle that? (see the USB keyspan_pda and keyspan drivers for an example.) I check the devices supported by multiple drivers, and normally I comment both probes (This is why I have so much probes commented. These drivers are marked in my db '## 2x'). Sometime I arbitrary choice a device. I.e. in FS 'autofs4' is prefered to 'autofs'. In the case of USB, two driver 'register' the uhci cards. I prefer USB_UHCI_ALT to USB_UHCI (arbitrary choice). I would like comments and correction to these choices. (The kernel is to big to know all, and the sources are not usefull in some cases) BTW the database is available to all. If somebody need it I can confirm that the database is complete (for MODULES_TABLE items). The database have these informations: - type (pci, usb, pnp,...) - device ID (ev. with class) or class ID, or interface ID or function ID, or both - configuration variable - source (the kernel file where the device is defined) (for non autoprobe use, you should discard the ev. first '#', CONFIG = _ means 'always', in pci the ! before the source means from MODULES_TABLE, the other pci are detected by other methods (no so accurate) giacomo ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
[kbuild-devel] same kernel Different machin ?
Hi all, I donn't know wheather this is stupid question or not ? any how I want to know and I request u to ansr. pls I bulid the kernel makeing a change in /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2/drivers/char/serial.c it is successful. then I want to use that new kernel in another Linux machin having same kernel version. 1)then what shall I do ? what is the most required steps ? 2) shall I get that effect on the another PC which I made in /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2/drivers/char/serial.c I only took the bzImage and put it in to /boot made change on /etc/liloconfig the machin is booting ? in this position am I getting that changed which I made on that .c file thankx Samiran ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
Re: [kbuild-devel] Re: State of the new config build system
Hi Keith, The main reason is to convert absolute dependency names to $(xxx) followed by a relative name, where xxx is one of the KBUILD_OBJTREE or KBUILD_SRCTREE_nnn variables. This conversion allows users to rename their source and object trees and to compile on one machine and install on another over NFS without being bitten by absolute dependencies. I really need to do that conversion using the current values of the kbuild variables, the variables might have changed on the next make. Yes, I understand, but this could be done as well at the start of the make run, couldn't it? My new design for module symbol versions requires that the version data be stored immediately after the compile. That also requires processing after each compile using the current environment. This sounds worse ... damned modversions, I still think it was one of the biggest mistakes in Linux history and an one which will be probably very hard to get rid of. Anyway, why do you need to process it immediately?
