Hi everybody:

When compiling last stable kernel, I go the following at the end of make


. . . . . . . . . .


CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0x4905): In function `con_init':
: undefined reference to `.L1714'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1


. . . . . . . . . .


How can I solve it?


Previously, I took my former .config file from the current kernel I am
using (2.6.23.12) and ran 'make oldconfig', then I made 'make'.


Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Marco

my guess is that's something related to the console driver and the linker doesn't seam to find the right function.

check your .config file and make sure that you have something similar:
CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING is not set
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
