From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: SA Subject: kernel compile problems (tulip / tulip_old) + more Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 10:09:28 +0100 Sender: linux-alpha-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <200208201009.28318.bullet.train@ntlworld.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org Dear list, I need to recompile the kernel to include osf partition support, however it fails to compile because of a conflict between the tulip driver and the tulip_old driver - (some errors below) - in the config menus I can only find an option relating to the tulip driver (I have a tulip network card). Any ideas ? thanks SA Also, I have an alpha machine that had its PROM trashed by a firmware update (update firmware (y/n) y / erasing PROM / updating PROM / Failed....) now the computer is dead and won't even perform the hardware jumpered "failsafe booot from floppy" - has anyone had any experience with this?, Is it possible to get a new PROM? thanks SA ----- some errors tulip_old/tulip_old.o(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `tulip_tbl' tulip/tulip.o(.data+0x0): first defined here tulip_old/tulip_old.o: In function `mxic_timer': tulip_old/tulip_old.o(.text+0x2f70): multiple definition of `mxic_timer' tulip/tulip.o(.text+0x2ff0): first defined here make[3]: *** [net.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-32.5/drivers/net' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-32.5/drivers/net' make[1]: *** [_subdir_net] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-32.5/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2
