2.5.1-pre8 doesn't compile w/ LVM support

[Richard Hoechenberger]

I just downloaded the 2.5.0 kernel and patched it up to 2.5.1-pre8.
When I try to compile (using 'make-kpkg' v1.65 under Debian), I get the
following error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/kernel/linux/drivers/md'
/usr/bin/make all_targets

In my .config, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM is set to 'y'.

I'm using gcc version 2.95.4, running on Linux 2.4.9-ac10.


Any idea what's causing the problem?

Yes, it's the new block interface which LVM hasn't been converted to
yet. It'll most likely be a while before LVM works in 2.5, so far noone
has stepped up and taken an interest in fixing it.
