2.6.18 compile problems?

mraray · 10-04-2006, 05:28 AM

Hi everyone,

I was trying to upgrade from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18 and upon unpacking the kernel source (and copying my old config over) I get a heap of errors.

I am using debian, and noticed this when trying to use make-kpkg... however even make oldconfig isn't working for me correctly..

Any advice?

Thanks,
Andrew

So where are the errors? I can only see warnings.

So did you run make oldconfig to generate a suitable .config for a 2.6.18 kernel?

Hi Andrew,

I did - and all is working now

Sorry for the silly question.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Andrew Benton · 10-06-2006, 05:05 AM

Cool. Well done!
It's not a silly question if it's preventing you from moving forward. Compiling a kernel is not as simple as some people make out.

Lol, it is from me... I have been doing this since the kernel v2.0

Oh well, it is a good way for me to get my feet back on the ground

I am getting the same type warnings while running the make silentoldconfig cmd on source linux-2.6.19-rc2 ( patch-2-6.19-rc2 applied to kernel-2.6.18) Then when I check the new .confg file made by silentoldconfig it drops the drivers that it had warnings for.

Arn't the cmds make oldconfig & make silentoldconfig susposed to use your old .config file entries & just enable you to add new stuff?

This only happens after my patch is applied. If I don't patch kernel-2,6.18 & just make an EXTRAVERSION=-test of it via the make oldconfig cmd, nothing is dropped from the resulting new .config file and I can compile without further problems

Patch-2.6.18-rc2 is applied without errors I checked for any *.rej & *.# files in the source & didn't find any. Any suggestions on this problem will be appreciated. ---Thanks
