Trying to build "-test9" full tar-ball on/for an IA-64 SDV, I got the following problems/errors : _ multiple compilation errors for "arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c" source starting with line #215 and apparently related to "definitions/declarations" issues when it pointed to a routine ("setup_arch()") body !! In fact this was due to a bug (typo ??) in "setup_arch()" routine itself, where an "if{}else" statement contained an unnecessary "}" ("} else" at line #160 in the original "setup.c" source) finally shortening the routine's body and causing next routines statement to be parsed as "definitions/declarations". The following fix/diff corrected the problem : ------------------------- $ diff setup.c.bfi setup.c.orig 160,165c160 < /* } else < This accolade appear to be a "typo" which mainly cause the upper "if" statemen t < and the routine itself to close/end prematurelly, thus causing compilation < errors for the rest of the routines statements now left outside !! < B.Faccini (bruno.faccini@intel.com) */ < else --- > } else $ ------------------------- _ "unsatisfied externals" for "[disable,reenable]_usb()" entry points, in source file "arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c". This appear to be caused by a joint setup/configuration of "CONFIG_ITANIUM_A1_SPECIFIC"+"CONFIG_USB". Since "[disable,reenable]_usb()" are no longer part of any "-test9" Kernel source, I was only abble to fix this by not using "CONFIG_ITANIUM_A1_SPECIFIC" setting since this build was intended for an A3 stepping system, I assume it should work ... I did not have already tested this Kernel build, hope it will run/boot ok, and I will post any further issue. Bruno. > Bruno Faccini - Tech. Mktg.
