| |
Hello, world!\n
I have a SGI Altix 350 IA64 machine (running SLES 8) for testing before it goes to the production use. I have succeeded recompiling and booting the SuSE distribution kernel (2.4.21+patches) from sources, but I have failed to compile/run any stock kernel from ftp.kernel.org (+ patches from kernel/ports/ia64/v2.[46]).
Firstly, is there any Linux IA64-specific mailing list? The MAINTAINERS file points to www.linuxia64.org, which is probably expired (please update the MAINTAINERS file).
Now the detailed description:
--------------------- The 2.6.6 kernel + linux-2.6.6-ia64-040521.diff.bz2 patch compiled and linked correctly, but failed to boot (it did not print anything to the console):
ELILO boot: 2.6.6 console=ttyS0 Uncompressing Linux... done (and without "console=ttyS0" it was the same).
--------------------- The 2.4.26 kernel + linux-2.4.26-ia64-040510.diff.bz2 patch failed to link on my box with <asm/sn/idle.h> missing:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -g -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -ffixed-r13 -mfixed-range=f12-f15,f32-f127 -falign-functions=32 -DGAS_HAS_HINT_INSN -frename-registers --param max-inline-insns=5000 -DBRINGUP -mconstant-gp -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=process -c -o process.o process.c process.c:33:25: asm/sn/idle.h: No such file or directory process.c: In function `cpu_idle': process.c:167: warning: implicit declaration of function `snidle' process.c:173: warning: implicit declaration of function `snidleoff' process.c: In function `arch_kernel_thread': /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:313: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:313: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:313: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:316: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:316: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include/asm/unistd.h:316: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function make[1]: *** [process.o] Error 1
after "touch include/asm/sn/idle.h" it failed to compile sn2_smp.c:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -g -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -ffixed-r13 -mfixed-range=f12-f15,f32-f127 -falign-functions=32 -DGAS_HAS_HINT_INSN -frename-registers --param max-inline-insns=5000 -DBRINGUP -mconstant-gp -DLITTLE_ENDIAN -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=sn2_smp -c -o sn2_smp.o sn2_smp.c sn2_smp.c: In function `sn2_global_tlb_purge': sn2_smp.c:116: `node_has_active_cpus' undeclared (first use in this function) sn2_smp.c:116: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sn2_smp.c:116: for each function it appears in.) sn2_smp.c:120: structure has no member named `shared_mm' sn2_smp.c:120: structure has no member named `node_history' sn2_smp.c: In function `sn2_ptc_deadlock_recovery': sn2_smp.c:164: `node_has_active_cpus' undeclared (first use in this function) make[3]: *** [sn2_smp.o] Error 1
include/asm-ia64/sn/nodepda.h is the only containng the "node_has_active_cpus". ---------------------
My .configs are at http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/tmp/ia64/. So is it possible to use stock kernel on Altix 350? Is there a better list to report this than lkml?
Thanks,
