kernel compilation:throwing error related with sound during "make bzImage"

b0nd · 08-19-2005, 02:31 AM

Hello all,
i compiled Redhat 2.4.20-8 kernel.
Used "make xconfig"
By mistake i checked "sound" section to "no". Hence no sound.
Now when i'm trying to make that option "yes" in the newly compiled one, its throwing error at the time of "make bzImage".

Just posting the end lines.

Code:

drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o(.text.init+0x66b): In function `es1371_probe':
: undefined reference to `gameport_register_port'
drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o(.text.init+0x908): In function `es1371_remove':
: undefined reference to `gameport_unregister_port'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
[root@localhost linux]#

What should be done to make it work ??? Or should i continue with it ???

regards

Note: i didn't touched any other settings inside that "sound" option except the top one

Hello all,
It was quite clear that some problem was with that "sound" section.......so i loaded the "config-2.4.20" ( the original one ) during "xconfig" and noted down the various checked and unchecked ones in that section.
made same changes during the fresh compilation and the problem has been solved.
But would definitely search for the drivers.

i tried continuing but later on i found that there was no "bzImage" and "System.map" at their respective places ( directories ).( which is quite obvious )
