Problems compiling kernel 2.4.18 patched with the latest patch

Problems compiling kernel 2.4.18 patched with the latest patch

[Nagendra Singh Tomar]

The kernel is 2.4.18 taken from kernel.org
Patch applied is linux-2.4.18-ia64-020722.diff taken from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.4/
I get the following error 

/tmp/newhd/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-ia64/include/asm/machvec.h:82:12: pasting 
"machvec_hpsim" and "." does not give a valid preprocessing token

The detailed compilation log can be found at the end of this mail. I have 
made a cross compiler tool-chain on a IA32 system, running RedHat-8.0.
I searched in the archives. Looks like people have faced this problem, but 
it was fixed. Is it fixed for 2.4.18 or do I need a later kernel.

Thanx
tomar

I assume you found this message in the archives:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/linux-ia64/0206/3530.html

I don't think the 2.4.18 patch was ever updated, so you probably
can't build a 2.4.18 generic kernel unless you want to apply the
machvec and sba_iommu patches.

That's a pretty old kernel, and the generic target was just starting
to come together then.  But I assume you have a good reason for
wanting to use such an old kernel.

Bjorn,
	Thanx for ur reply. I had difficulties applying the patch. I tried 
it on the already patched 2.4.18 (with latest ia64 port patch as I 
mentioned). I will download the 2.4.21 kernel and try patching and 
compiling it. Hope that passes thru. I don't want to run a 2.6 kernel 
because I have a massive kernel module that works on 2.4.18 kernel on an 
IA32. To start with I would just like to see if it works on IA64 also. i 
don't want to get down to porting that module to 2.6. Later, when I am 
done with amking it work on 2.4.21/IA64, I will put the effort of porting 
it to 2.6 series. 
Is 2.4.21 also not a good choice for IA64 ?

Thanx,
tomar

2.4.21 is a good choice for IA64.
