Can't compile 2.4.2 kernel after MTD patch

Can't compile 2.4.2 kernel after MTD patch

[Iasen Hristov]

1. I have a Mandrake 7.2 (kernel 2.2.17)
2. Downloaded 2.4.2 version of kernel from kernel.org
        linux-2.4.2.tar.gz      21-Feb-2001 17:00  24.1M
3. Compiled with MTD options enabled, able to boot from hard disk, but
could not detect the DOC
4. downloaded MTD from CVS
5. patched in the kernel, which created the corresponding symbolic links

6. now if I do
        make bzImage (after "make mrproper", "make menuconfig" and "make
dep")
I get

make -C mtd

Am I doing something wrong?

there is a small bug in nftl.c! The debug variable should be
MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL1  :-)

(Physmap-)design question

[Florian Schirmer / TayTron]

Hi!

I've just a little question: While looking around the mtd directory i found
a couple of drivers which a basically all the same. More or less the same
than physmap.c. The only things that are different are size, offset and if
availible the partititions and bank informations.

As i have to write a driver which supports our hardware out of the box i
wondered wether its the best way. There a two solutions for this problem:

a) Putting all drivers together into one file and do some ifdef's
b) Putting together a common file which holds all common stuff and a
hardware specific file which only consits of the size, offset, ...
definitions.

What do you think (David)?

Thanks a lot
   Florian Schirmer
