[parisc-linux] Current kernel from CVS does not build.

[Rafael Herrera]

After intalling the most recent kernel snapshot 
ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cvs/linux-20011108.tar.gz (2.4.9-pa79) and 
Randolph Chung's gcc, my 715/75 has been very stable.

I tried to update the sources with the latest CVS version, but the 
compilation failed. The file */arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_cons.c and 
*/kernel/printk.c have a conflict. The variable log_size used in 
pdc_cons.c is not defined in printk.c. The kernel does not build.

P.S. I successfully built linux-20011108.tar.gz with Randolf's gcc 
package. It took an hour.

The merge to 2.4.14 isn't finished yet.
Despite working around the log_size issue, it still doesn't boot.

Watch the parisc-linux-cvs mailing list for progress on this.
We'll probably post an "It works" msg here too.

[parisc-linux] Update: Current kernel from CVS does not build

[Helge Deller]

This is just an update on this issue....

32bit kernels from CVS head (>= 2.4.14-pa1) should now compile and
boot again. There still may be hidden issues (as always :-)),
but basically it will work.

Yes the kernel boots, I can see the boot messages, but the STI console 
still does not accept keyboard input at the login prompt at the end.

There is still an inconsistency between the pdc_con.c and printk.c 
files. pdc_cons.c uses the variables log_end and con_start, which are 
declared static in printk.c. Commenting out their use in pdc_con.c lets 
me finish the compilation, but as I said I can't type anything.

By the way, I can see the keyboard interrupts in /proc.
