So now we have something in 2.4.0-test10, but there's still a problem. Help is appreciated^W wanted. !!!
With CONFIG_USB=y and all other USB modules built as modules (=m), linking usbdrv.o into the kernel image gives this:
ld -m elf_i386 -T /work/linsrc/240-test10/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/block/block.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/parport/parport.a drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o drivers/pci/pci.a drivers/video/video.o drivers/usb/usbdrv.o drivers/input/inputdrv.o drivers/i2c/i2c.o \ net/network.o \ /work/linsrc/240-test10/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /work/linsrc/240-test10/lib/lib.a /work/linsrc/240-test10/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.data+0x2f4): undefined reference to `__this_module' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 [rdunlap@dragon linux]$
I believe that this is caused by drivers/usb/inode.c:
static DECLARE_FSTYPE(usbdevice_fs_type, "usbdevfs", usbdevfs_read_super, 0);
in which this macro uses "THIS_MODULE". inode.c already #includes module.h. What else does it need to do? (inode.c is part of the usbcore in this case, so it shouldn't be compiled with -DMODULE.)
Help ?!?
