| |
I have looked through the archives and seen no mention of this problem, so if it has been explained, the mailing list search engine does not seem to have found it.
I am trying to get the 3.0.5 version of the PCMCIA drivers to build on my laptop. The kernel version is 2.1.126. It blows up on the defined symbol SCSI_DISK_MAJOR. (Which is defined in major.h.)
In the 2.0.x kernels, it is:
#define SCSI_DISK_MAJOR 8
In the 2.1.126 kernel it is a macro:
#define SCSI_DISK_MAJOR(M) ((M) == SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR || \ ((M) >= SCSI_DISK1_MAJOR &&(M) <= SCSI_DISK7_MAJOR))
The easy fix seems to be to change the occurances of SCSI_DISK_MAJOR in the pcmcia code to SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR.
This is defined as:
#define SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR 8
My question is "why the change" and will doing this foul something important lower in the kernel? (I don't think it will do anything nasty to my code as I do not have any SCSI devices on my laptop. yet.)
Thanks!
