hello everyone,

I replaced a few files in the kernel source after copying to /home/suma/linux .That is a few files in the drivers and include folders of the source.After doing the make bzImage it gave the below pasted error.That is undefined reference to disable_console_blank in the kernel.o file.Can any one of please help me out as soon as possible?I have applied the patch to the slackware 10.2 ver.

suma:

don't replace the files?

Would probably be usefull to know what patch it was you applied. Unless you really really mean you straight up copied a file to your linux sources... in which case the result you get is entirely expected.
