Re: Linux 2.4.20-pre4

[wish]

Is the -aa VM going to be merged into 2.4.20 or will this happen at any later release of 2.4?

Hi Marcelo,

-pre4 compiles fine and boots correctly for me (dual athlon, nfs client).
Compiled and loaded JFS, but not tested.

Cheers,
Willy

Re: Linux 2.4.20-pre4

[Stephane Wirtel]

compil and boot : ok
i'm testing this kernel, and i don't have any problem with it

In case you use a gcc compiler 3.1+ please test your jfs extensively. dbench
works good for me.
I have had problem with JFS compiled with gcc 3.1+. It causes oopses that
stop any fs activity and the machine freezes.

These errors (and more) are addressed in a patch which should be making its
way upstream.  Please feel free to grab it out of the
sparclinux@vger.kernel.org mailing list archives if you really want to use
pre4.  Also, sparclinux@vger.kernel.org is the sparc32 mailing list, so
please post any problems/patches there.

I have found your patch and now it compiles but 'make modules_install'
fails with:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pre4/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o
depmod:         ___illegal_use_of_BTFIXUP_SETHI_in_module

I have upgraded to the latest modultils. I will install the latest
binutils and try again (right now I am using binutils 2.12.90.0.1-4
from Debian-testing).

Your kernel doesn't include any sound support? A workaround is to say "M"
at "Sound/Sound card support" (you don't need any of the drivers below).

I've sent a mail to Gerd Knorr explaining the cause of this problem a few
minutes ago.

Isn't the correct soluion a fresh compile (i.e. from clean sources)?

No, I suspect the problem is the one I describe in [1].

The symbol type looks horribly different:
above: symbol w/version
below: symbol w/o version
