linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl won't compile

[Andre Costa]

Hi,

Funny thing, I have a similar problem (kernel compiles, but modules
fail). I've posted it to linuxquestions.org here
[http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=119162],
and I will reproduce it below so that you don't have to follow the link to
understand the probl.

Any help will be much appreciated.

TIA

=========================

Hi all,

I am having probls recompiling the default kernel (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl).
Aftter a couple of failed attempts to compile my own kernel (tweaked to
my hardware config), I tried this basic test:

copy
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/configs/kernel-2.4.22-athlon.config to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/.config

make dep

make bZimage (no probls here)

make modules


Now this is where probls begin... many modules are compiled
successfully, but CIPE module fails:

gcc32 -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include/linux/modversions.h -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=module -c -o module.o module.c

[...]

(many other errors are displayed)

I tried configuring the kernel not to use CIPE, but then ACPI modules
start failing compilation:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/drivers/acpi'
gcc32 -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include/linux/modversions.h -Os -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ac -c -o ac.o ac.c

[...]

Ok, I don't need ACPI either, so I turn it off. Now, ATM is the one to blame:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/drivers/atm'

from /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include/linux/module.h:12,
from eni.c:6:
[...]

I could go on with this, but it ends up with floppy.o failing
compilation. Besides, this doesn't sound right -- regardless of my
hardware support to these features, compilation should work just fine,
shouldn't it? Specially with the provided default kernel
configurations...

Any idea about what could be wrong? I upgraded from RH9, and I was using
a "hand-made" (i.e. not provided by RH) 2.4.22 kernel, from kernel.org
tarball. These kernel sources are still on /usr/src/linux-2.4.22, and I
am using default 2.4.22-1.2115 kernel.

TIA

Andre
