Subject: 2.5.68: SMP for arch/sparc broken?
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 15:11:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EAE7A11.3040603@coolgoose.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm currently trying to get linux running on my old (but it's my own :-)
Tatung SparcStation 20 clone, mainly for acting as a dsl-router /
firewall. Kind of exotic I guess, but funny. I must confess that I'm
pretty new to linux on sparc while running linux on i386 for nearly 8 years.
The device has two processors (high speed 85MHz). I installed a debian
distro and now trying to bring it on actual (or rather bleeding edge)
software revisions.
While trying to compile a 2.5.68 kernel I stumbled into a problem: the
function "cpu_possible":
while being defined for other architectures in include/asm-i386/smp.h or
similar it is missing in include/asm-sparc/smp.h.
Unfortunately it seems to be needed to successfully compile a kernel
because several other things depend on it. Also unfortunately I don't
have the slightest idea on how to fix it because I'm not that deep in
the sparc system architecture (or the linux kernel architecture).
Any suggestions (besides to stay with a (successfully for SMP compiled)
2.4.20 kernel)?
Regards
Schwarzseher
P.S.: When already at the topic, now offtopic for this list: any ideas
on why swapon /dev/sdc2 throws a core since I updated the kernel to
2.4.20? The swapon systemcall is called and the swapspace is added but
afterwards the swapon utility makes a segfault.
