| |
Hello,
There a few minor-but-yet-annoying bugs in the 2.1.99 kernel for the alpha:
-- with gcc-2.8.1, the build fails, as it does not find the __builtin_memset symbol, which is invoked in include/asm-alpha/string.h, where lies a clever piece of code that may not be so clever in fact... or myabe I did something wrong ? Someone else also reported this problem, so we are at least two dummies in this world.
-- "make menuconfig" does not let me choose my scsi driver (ncr53c7,8xx), event though I have specified I have a Noname board, which should enable PCI support. "make config" and "make xconfig" work fine. (This one has been present for long now)
-- the ad1848.o module does not compile. The following patch makes it compile, but not work:
--- linux/drivers/sound/ad1848.c.old Fri May 1 16:08:29 1998 +++ linux/drivers/sound/ad1848.c Fri May 1 16:08:58 1998 @@ -105,7 +105,7 @@ -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 }; -#if defined(CONFIG_SEQUENCER) && !defined(EXCLUDE_TIMERS) +#if defined(CONFIG_SEQUENCER) && !defined(EXCLUDE_TIMERS) || defined(MODULE) static int timer_installed = -1;
When I perform a "modprobe sound" I get: /lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol sound_timer_syncinterval /lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol sound_timer_init /lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol sound_timer_interrupt /lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol reprogram_timer And, indeed, these symbols are defined in none of the modules I have compiled.
The rest seems to work great, including kmod. That sure is nice work !
Happy hacking.
