Got these errors while compiling:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/Upload/linux-2.5.14-dj2/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=proc -c -o proc.o proc.c proc.c: In function `show_cpuinfo': proc.c:69: warning: passing arg 2 of `constant_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type proc.c:69: warning: passing arg 2 of `variable_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type proc.c:99: warning: passing arg 2 of `constant_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type proc.c:99: warning: passing arg 2 of `variable_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type
found a few other problems: 1) the pio fix posted last week is not included in your tree or Linus' and I found this the hard way: severe filesystem damage and system lockup and a kernel (2.4.19-pre8) panic because the root partition could not be mounted (as reported before).
The following patch fixes this, apllies with an offset of -2 lines: -- begin patch -- --- linux-2.5.10/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c Wed Apr 24 16:15:19 2002 +++ linux/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c Fri Apr 26 15:44:42 2002 @@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ ata_write_slow(drive, buffer, wcount); else #endif - ata_write_16(drive, buffer, wcount<<1); + ata_write_16(drive, buffer, wcount); } } -- end patch -- 2) After boot the system is not responsive to the keyboard, logging in via ssh and doing a `insmod psmouse` followed by a `rmmod psmouse` results in a working keyboard... before and after insmod there is no interrupt 1 listed in /proc/interrupts, but after doing the rmmod it is listed: " 1: 52 XT-PIC i8042" the mouse interrupt is listed as " 12: 154 XT-PIC i8042" the following message was issued after `rmmod psmouse`: "input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0"
After applying the pio-fix I was able to run both 2.5.13-dj2 and 2.5.14-dj1 for three days on this system (p100, 48MB, 2x IDE-hd) without ext2-filesystem corruption or lockups!! 2.5.14-dj2 is now running for 4 hours and I am going to stress-test it :-)
