It's me again ...

It's me again ...

[Tony Reed]

I've been building kernels since 2.2.15 or something, and I've never
had problems before, so bear with me.

Where is "deacivate_page" defined?  Because, right at the end, I'm
getting:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.14/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \
        --start-group \
        arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \

        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux

drivers/block/block.o(.text+0xa8ad): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'
drivers/block/block.o(.text+0xa8f9): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1


So I'm kinda stuck.

My "vendor"?. If I wanna _buy_ an OS, I'll buy an Mac.

There is a problem in loop.c that references deactivate_page.  This is
probably related.

deactivate_page by linus in 2.4.14, while it was in 2.4.14-pre8, the last
pre for 2.4.14.... :(

two options: delete the references to deactivate_page in
drivers/block/loop.c and rebuild your kernel or get the latest 2.4.15
prepatch that has this fixed.

Read the list, there is a well known patch.

See the discussions on this list for a patch -
or better yet, get the 2.4.15-pre5 patch, which
has fixes for that and several other issues.

If you got your kernels from a Linux vendor,
you would not be having these issues!
