I have tried to build a more up to date kernel for my Fu Long
computer with the 2.6.23-rc3 testing version, while it is currently
running release 2.6.18.1.

I tend to build my kernels with as many options as possible
and most of them as modules if they are not necessary for
booting. When I was building the latest testing version I got the
following errors:

> ERROR: "free_dma" [drivers/scsi/qlogicfas.ko] undefined!
> ERROR: "free_dma" [drivers/scsi/pas16.ko] undefined!
> ERROR: "free_dma" [drivers/scsi/NCR53c406a.ko] undefined!
> ERROR: "request_dma" [drivers/net/tokenring/skisa.ko] undefined!

> ERROR: "__cmpdi2" [drivers/md/dm-snapshot.ko] undefined!
> make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
> make: *** [modules] Error 2

On the one hand I understand that things like Token Ring support
don't make sense for this kind of hardware but I was still allowed
to select it, so I did :-).

On the other hand while SCSI and DM support are not really suitable
for the current Fu Long system, they might be for derivative ones
and successors in the near future so it should be possible to use
this hardware and their drivers.

I have also bothered the SPARC developers with a similar error
message for my Sun E250 server. I only hope to be helpful here
and to be able to contribute in the near future.
