insmod problem after modutils upgrading
i've upgraded modutils from 2.3.14 (originally installed by RH7,kernel 2.2.16) to 2.3.22 using "rpm -Fvh modultils2.3.22-1.i386.rpm*" as required by the kernel 2.4test12 compilation. after upgrading, the network module refused to load anymore (was working fine with insmod 2.3.14) with kernel 2.2.16/RH7. during boot process, the following error message was shown: insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.0-test12/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o insmod eth0 failed. executing "insmod 8139too" at the command prompt shows the following error message: using /lib/modules/2.4.0-test12/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o /lib/modules/2.4.0-test12/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: symbol for parameter debug not found. pls kindly advise if i've done something wrong during the upgrade or are there known compatibility issues with modutils 2.3.22? how can i make insmod load the network module again pls? thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: warning during make modules
Hi Keith,
Thanks for your reply. The below mentioned warning messages where displayed
while using modutils 2.3.22. Guess I need to apply the patch you mentioned
to removed all the anonying messages.
As I've not applied any patch before, pls advise where should I download the
patch and the instructions for patching pls.
Thanks.

warning during make modules
i'm compiling kernel 2.4.0-test11 uder RH7. i've changed the CC= line to use
kgcc, executed "make clean" and "make mrproper". "make menuconfig" and "make
dep" went smoothly. however during the "make modules" process, several
warning messages (shown below) appeared:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:8: Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for
.modinfo
pls kindly advise how can i resolve the warning messages, or can i can

thanks.

Re: anyone compiled 2.2.17 on RH7 successfully? [SOLVED]
thanks for all those who replied. your help is really appreciated. basically, in order to compile kernel in RH7, kgcc *MUST* be used instead of gcc. to use kgcc edit the Makefile. find the line below and change to: CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc <(changed to kgcc instead of gcc/cc) once again. thank you for those who helped :) cheers! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: anyone compiled 2.2.17 on RH7 successfully?
thanks for the info. i've kgcc installed during RH7 installation. i've checked the version to be 2.91.66. i've used the following 2 methods with kgcc but it won't even allow me to compile: 1. make CC=kgcc zImage 2. change the CC=gcc to CC=kgcc in Makefile the "make CC=kgcc zImage" process reports the following error messages: In file included from init/main.c:15: /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:283: parse error before `mode_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:283: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:284: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:285: parse error before `uid' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:285: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:286: parse error before `gid' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:286: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:289: parse error before `off_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:290: warning: `struct inode' declared inside parameter list /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:290: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:290: warning: which is probably not what you want. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:293: parse error before `off_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:296: warning: `struct file' declared inside parameter list /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:300: parse error before `}' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:302: parse error before `off_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:305: warning: `struct file' declared inside parameter list /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:308: parse error before `off_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h: In function `proc_scsi_register': /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:344: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:345: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h: In function `proc_scsi_unregister': /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:359: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:362: `NULL' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:362: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:362: for each function it appears in.) /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:363: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:365: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:368: sizeof applied to an incomplete type .many more lines .....many more lines - Original Message - From: David Relson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Corisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 9:58 AM Subject: Re: anyone compiled 2.2.17 on RH7 successfully? > Corisen, > > RedHat 7.0's version of gcc, known as gcc 2.96, is incompatible with the > kernel's code.

anyone compiled 2.2.17 on RH7 successfully?
has anyone running RedHat7(with kernel 2.2.16, gcc 2.96, kgcc 2.91.66) complied 2.2.17 kernel successfully? i've downloaded the source and gunzip/untar to /root/linux-2.2.17 1. make menuconfig (ok) 2. make dep (ok) 3. make zImage ===> lots of warning message ===> error: checksum.S:231 badly punctuated parameter list in #define ===> error: checksum.S:237 badly punctuated parameter list in #define 4. make CC=kgcc zImage ===> snapshot of errors reported: In file included from init/main.c:15: /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:283: parse error before `mode_t' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:283: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:284: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:285: parse error before `uid' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:285: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:286: parse error before `gid' /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:286: warning: data definition has no type or storage class many more errors many more errors 5. changed CC= kgcc in Makefile and execute "make zImage" ===> same error as 3 (strange, seems like the the compilation is still by gcc and not kgcc despite the change) i was able to compile 2.4.0-test10 kernel image with "make CC=kgcc bzImage" pls kindly advise on the possible solutions. thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
compiling 2.4.0-test10 kernel
hi, i'm currently running RH7, with 2.2.16-22 kernel, gcc 2.96 on a Sharp Actius 250 notebook. i've manged to successfully compile 2.4.0-test10 kernel. however, upon startup there are some failed/error messages: 1. finding module dependencies: depmod *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o 2. Starting NFS lockd: lockdsvc: Invalid argument [FAILED] during shutdown, the following failed messages was noticed: 1. Turning off accounting: aacton: Function not implemented 2. Shutting down NFS lockd [FAILED] the system is also not able to shutdown/power off completely after "shutdown -h now". however, using RH7 2.2.16 kernel, the notebook was able to power off. how can i configure it to turn off automatically? pls kindly advise where i have gone wrong and how to rectify the above errors. pls pardon my ignorance as i'm quite new to linux and this is my first kernel compilation attempt. thank you very much. ps: i've tried the kernel compilation on a HP Vectra PII PC and the error messages are similar. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
