Yeah, I have to say, kbuild 2.5 is definitely a nice thing.. Looking fw to seeing it included in mainline. Btw, Keith, how's the bug (if it is a bug at all) w/ CONFIG_MODVERSIONS? Whenever I built a kernel with it set using kbuild 2.5 everything went fine up to the moment I tried to load a module into the new kernel -- not one would actually work, complaining about unresolved symbols (at the same time, though, depmod -ae had nothing to report). Since I couldn't find any info on this I concluded it might be that CONFIG_MODVERSIONS was considered obsolete and as such would no longer be supported? Another question I'd like to ask (soooorry :D) -- would there be a little cunning target in Makefile-2.5 that'd create the asm-$arch symlink for me in include/ like kbuild 2.4 does? Whenever I run "make -f Makefile-2.5 clean" followed by "make -f Makefile-2.5 menuconfig" I get some serious whipping from kbuild 2.5, cos the asm-$arch symlink gets deleted in the cleaning, and I have to resurrect it by hand. cheers, t. -- "hello it's not like i read my mail so that you have where to offer to sell me a giant turnip or anything else thankyou." -tomas szepe <kala@pinerecords.com> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
