Hello, sorry to bother you with a problem
I used buildkernel utility to download the latest beta version of the kernel. At that point of time it downloaded the version 2.3.9 It supposedly ran through the installation but I found that the new kernel had not been built. When I tried to manually build the kernel following the instructions given in the README file the error which came was
fs/filesystems.a(fat.o):In function 'fat_file_write': fat.o(.text+0x264e): undefined reference to 'update_vm_cache' fs/filesystems.a(ntfs.o):In function 'ntfs_getuser_update_vm': ntfs.o(.text+0x47): undefined reference to 'update_vm_cache'
Then I saw that that kernel 2.3.10 had been released so I downloaded the patch and applied it but even after that I am still getting the same error i.e.
fs/filesystems.a(fat.o):In function 'fat_file_write': fat.o(.text+0x264e): undefined reference to 'update_vm_cache' fs/filesystems.a(ntfs.o):In function 'ntfs_getuser_update_vm': ntfs.o(.text+0x47): undefined reference to 'update_vm_cache'
Actually the patch itself didnot seem to work smoothly also. It repoted that few of the files were missing but they belonged to the arch/alpha, arch/sparc64 and arch/sparc so I ignored it.
the output of the ver_kernel is as follows -- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or looks -- unusual then possibly you have very old versions) Linux localhost.localdomain 2.2.5-15 #6 Sun Jun 27 01:18:07 IST 1999 i686 unknown Kernel modules 2.1.121 Gnu C egcs-2.91.66 Binutils 2.9.1.0.23 Linux C Library 2.1.1 Dynamic linker ldd (GNU libc) 2.1.1 Procps 2.0.2 Mount 2.9o Net-tools 1.51 Console-tools 1999.03.02 Sh-utils 1.16 Modules Loaded sblive.o-2.2.5 nfsd lockd sunrpc
