patch kernel 2.4.21 (including the arm-linux patch rmk2) with the latest CVS snapshot

[Tobias Arp]

 Hi 
 
i tried to patch my arm linux kernel 2.4.21 (rmk2 patch) with the latest CVS snapshot. I had 
follwing errors: 
 
1. While making xconfig after patching the kernel (Options: Copy files, update fs) i had a 
problem making xconfig. This kernel release seems not to support elif in Config-files. I 
comment these lines out because they don't affect my configuration. After this it works. 
 
2. I get some warnings and errors messages while make zImage:

Has someone made the same experience ? 
 
I have another question: Before i made the patch i have configured my flash partitions in 
physmap.c where do i configure it now (after applying the patch) ?

Apply the two attached patches chips-config.patch to
'drivers/mtd/chips/Config.in' and nand-config.patch to
'drivers/mtd/nand/Config.in' which should sort out a couple of syntax
errors. e.g `cd linux-2.4.21; patch -p1 -i chips-config.patch`

Maybe someone can apply these to CVS?

You need a patch to the kernel for this you can download it from
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@1.1136.44.19?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-9M

And it helps if the patches are attached :-)
