| |
When trying to compile 2.1.97 I get a 'Syntax error before character 0240' on line 116 of kmod.c
Seems that instead of a | char something extra (ascii 240) slipped in.
Could be that I just downloaded a buggered version of the kernel tarbal, so I changed the line to read
kernel_thread(kmod_thread, NULL, CLONE_FILES | CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND); ^------------- Using VI, i could see the funny character right over here^ as an extra 'pipe'. Under jed, I could see the offending char.
After that was fixed up, kernel compiled with no problems, SMP=1, and make bzImage, and modules etc.
Also used the latest version of modutils (2.1.85) when building. Standard config, nothing fancy, except for an NCR scsi adapter.
And as soon as I see: Booting the kernel...
It reboots the whole machine.. H/W is a Compaq Professional W/S 5000, dual Pentium Pro, IDE CDRom, SCSI Hdd, and IDE hdd (for Linux).
make zImage is too big.
What now?
Think my kernel dist was corrupted? I gunzipped the tarball, without any errors, so the tar file was ok...
I then untarred the whole thing, and got the same as with tar xvfz...
