Hi all, I'm stuck in a weird situation: I'm unable to go beyond 2.6.23.14, so to fix the splice bug I've had to apply by hand the patch. (x86_64)
Basically, with 2.6.24.2 (the same with 2.6.24 and .1), tha machine won't boot due to a problem with cciss driver, that prevents to find the / partition. (bug described here: Kernel Bug Tracker Bug 9859 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9859 );
With kernels 2.6.23, the lastest that I can compile is 2.6.23.14; starting from .15 (and .16) I get this message:
====================== UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_init': bus.c:(.init.text+0x1713): undefined reference to `pm_flags' bus.c:(.init.text+0x1756): undefined reference to `pm_flags' ======================
All .config are the same, (make oldconfig) beside the obvious differences between .23 and .24
Hardware: x86_64 AMD 2216HE SCSI controller: HP Smart Array E200i Controller Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 binutils: 2.16.1
On a x86 machine, Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz with a cciss0: HP Smart Array 6i Controller, the 2.6.24.2 compiles just fine and works, so the cciss problems seems related only to E200i controller.
Right now, on AMD64 machines, I'm forced to patch by hand the kernel, that's quite uncomfortable :)
Can someone point me in the right direction to get out of this situation? Of course I can provide any further information. (.config not inlcuded now to avoid cluttering )
Thanks for any answer.
