2.5.62 on Alpha SUCCESS (2.6 release soon!?)

2.5.62 on Alpha SUCCESS (2.6 release soon!?)

[Oliver Pitzeier]

Hi volks!

I just wanted to tell everybody that 2.5.62 works great for me on Alpha...
Thanks a lot to the alpha kernel developers!!! You did a great job...

OK now, why don't call the next kernel 2.6.0 and release it as soon as possible
:-))) The whole world is awaiting this moment. :-)

Best regards,
 Oliver

OK... Make modules_install still has problems:

[root@track linux]# make modules_install
make -rR -f scripts/Makefile.modinst
  mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/net/8021q; cp net/8021q/8021q.ko
/lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/net/8021q

  mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/drivers/net; cp drivers/net/bonding.ko
/lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/drivers/net
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.5.62; fi

Which versions of binutils and gcc do you have?  I get similar
problems with binutils 2.13 and 2.4 kernels.

This is my current env.:
[root@track /root]# rpm -q modutils binutils gcc
modutils-2.4.22-8
binutils-2.12.90.0.7-3
gcc-3.1-6

Maybe I should upgrade gcc? But I believe 3.1 is working fine... At least for my
normally...

Best regards,
 Oliver

I got those relocation errors when using gcc 3.1 and too old modutils,
but you seem to have the latest version.  Try changing to binutils
2.12.  It works for me, but 2.13 doesn't.

I'm currently upgrading the whole system... Let's see what I get. :-)

I don't know how good/bad this combination of gcc and binutils is for
2.5.x, but modutils 2.4.22 will _not_ work with current 2.5.x. Therefor,
you need the new module-init-tools, available at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules IIRC.

I think that gcc 3.1 should be ok.

I was wondering about modutils b/c you need newer modules-init to load
newer modules into the kernel (the extension is now .ko), but you can't
_compile_ modules, which is different. Sorry I misread the email.

Once you get modules compiled, then you need newer tools:
