Build driver failed in PAE platform with linux kernel 2.6.27.19-5-pae
 

I installed SUSE11 x86 linux on a PAE platform(linux kernal is 2.6.27.19-5-pae), then built my driver, but got the following mem_map undeclared error message. The same driver can build success in other non PAE platforms(for example, linux kernel is 2.6.27.19-5-default). Has anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot!
gcc version is 4.3.2

Here's a quarter - go buy a 64-bit CPU.

PAE is just bad news. If you can live in 32-bit address space, do it. If you absolutely need more RAM, than go 64 bit.

IMHO .. PSM

PS:
If you're curious, take a look in your kernel source, at include/asm-generic/memory_model.h. I suspect that (might be) one of the sources of the problem ... and I'm not sure there's any easy solution.

Hi Paulsm4,

Thanks your information.
Unfortunately, PAE is our customer's shipping platform, so I must resolve the problem on PAE platform, and they also ask so.

Do you know which source causes the problem? And how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Steven

I was looking for LinPhlash
 

Do you happen to have it?
