| |
Hi, out whatever reasons I'm currently trying to update a debian installation on an old 2 processor SparcStation 20 clone.
Unfortunately I run into trouble compiling a 2.5.68 kernel on it. It seems that the inline "cpu_possible" is missing out of include/asm-sparc/smp.h while being existent in include/asm-i386/smp.h and others. A Also unfortunately it seems to be needed for compiling successfully. Even more unfortunately I don't have an idea on how to add it (or rather what to add) because I'm not so deeply involved into inner kernel workings or the sparc architecture.
I attached the errors below. Am I the only one who tries to ran an actual 2.5 testing kernel on this vintage hardware?
While in this issue (even when it's off topic for this list, so please ignore if you feel insulted): Does anyone have an idea why swapon /dev/sdc2 throws a core since I updated to a (successfully for SMP compiled) 2.4.20 kernel? The swapon syscall is executed and in fact the swapspace is added but afterwards the swapon utility hickups with an segmentation fault... Had a look into the source but didn't understand what may be happening that results into a segfault.
Regards Schwarzseher
