cannot compile kernel

[Arne Chr. Jorgensen]

hi,

Still no answer on my previous question: 
Re: ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

Would attempt to compile with some other settings, but that
seems like a dead-end too:

Kernel: 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64
Kernel: 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-debug-x86_64

[command input:]# make oldconfig
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'.  Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make_error (END)

[command input:]# make gconfig
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_gtkcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/gconf.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [gconfig] Error 2
2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0.

Comment: - couldn't find the needed libraries anywhere in available packages.

It's finding your BIOS doesn't seem to have the timer wiring listed in
the tables. That makes Linux a little confused 8)

glib-devel, gtk2-devel ..

glib-devel, gtk2-devel ..

======================================================================

1. Yes, both me and linux may be a bit confused ;)
- In a the previous thread about the timer error, the ERROR happens ahead of
the timer message:

ACPI Error (tbfadt-0453): 32/64X address mismatch in "Pm2ControlBlock": [00008800] [0000000000008100], using 64X [20070126]

I have checked the ACPI spec from Microsoft,Intel,HP, etc. - and this makes
sense. So, the kernel code seem to be wrong.

2. Installed "glib-devel, gtk2-devel" as you pointed out, gave this:
[root@localhost 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64]# make gconf
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
drivers/net/Kconfig:1974:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM'
drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC'
make: *** No rule to make target `gconf'.  Stop.

3. Just make, gave this

scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
PC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM'
drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'.  Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

4. Not sure what you meant with "rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec" ?
- the SPECS directory is empty, no kernel.spec file exist.

5. as I am not familiar with 'rpmbuild', then I wondered what buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current-...." could be all about. Took a chance, but
they break on dependency.

I am stuck.

If you've found an APCI spec bug send a note to Len Brown anyway (you can
file a bug but Len at the end of the day is the Mr ACPI) .

As shipped the binary kernel tree is set up to build modules against. You
should be able to "make mrproper" and then build a new tree from it (you
might want to cp .config somewhere safe first)

If you install the kernel src.rpm package you get the scripts/setup to rebuild
a new kernel package. If you want to make small changes for testing that is
probably not what you need

See if the above helps if not keep asking.

hi,

Removed all, then downloaded packages. It's messy, as neither
pirut or yum extender keeps kernels in one place. The .src seem
to have been abandoned, but I suppose the last package would
should be it:

kernel-doc-2.6.23.9.fc8.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.23.9.-85.fc8.x86_64
kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64

Source tree seem to be broken, as infiniband is missing.

[root@localhost 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64]# make mrproper
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/infiniband] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_drivers] Error 2

Wrong packages.  If you want to do some "rebuilding from scratch"
then you need kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.src.rpm file.  'yumdownloader'
could be of help here.

'kernel-devel' is required if you are recompiling some
"external" modules for the given kernel without touching
that kernel itself.

cannot compile kernel-FIXED

[Arne Chr. Jorgensen]

ISSUE probably FIXED

------------------------------

I had installed some b43 /lib/module code - and I think  
my comment: "Source  tree seem to be broken, as infiniband is missing."
relates to this.  I wanted to compile a duplicate of my installed system,
by doing: make oldconfig.
