2.5.71 compile error on alpha

2.5.71 compile error on alpha

[Christian Kujau]

hi,

i have an alpha here, running 2.5.70 for weeks now. the patch to 2.5.71
applied with no errors (i did "make clean" before this) but it won't
compile:

# make vmlinux modules modules_install

...

   CC      arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.o
arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.c:269: warning: `srmcons_ops' defined but not used
make[2]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2
------------

compiler is gcc3.3, .config did not change (new options in 2.5.71 with
"No" answered).

Thanks,
Christian.

Not looking at the code, I guess you could just remove the definition
of srmcons_ops from srmcons.c.

No, use appended patch.

ok, that did it, but then another error showed up:

oh, just before vmlinux was made! before & after applying the patch i 
did "make clean" (do i have to make clean "before" applying patches 
anyway? after applying patches and before making targets, yes.)

oh, and this alpha is named "Avanti" but a kernel compile needs 80mins 
or so :-)

Thank you,
Christian.

I don't think so.

That's typical for the slower Avantis.  Is your's something like 100 MHz?

oh, 2.5.72 is out but since it does not touch srmcons.c i applied the 
patch to 2.5.72 too and see how it goes.

Thanks,
Christian.

Well, that's mainly a question of compiler version and the quantity of
modules you attempt to build...

yes, after 130 minutes: 2.5.72 _with_ applied srmcons-patch compiled and 
has booted fine.

Thanks,

That's not good.  Do you know what is causing it.

I use one of those for a firewall/router.

Good, what's it like performance-wise?  2.5.68 had trouble with my IDE
disks, and I wonder if it's been fixed since.

i did not even know that this one is bad. the only weird thing which 
comes into my mind when thinking about this alpha is: it is filled up 
whith fine 128 MB RAM -- but it is only seeing 64 MB. when we inserted 
64 MB RAM, only 32 MB are recognized. with 32 MB working with it was no 
fun, working with 64 MB is quite good. must be the type of RAM but i 
don't really know much about the different RAM types.

can't tell about IDE, since it has only scsi in it. i used to run 
benchmarks (tiobench) on the alpha, with different loop-mounted 
filesystems, but the alpha has been frozen very often during these 
benchmarks...will redo with 2.5.72 later.

Thanks,
Christian.

Is this SDRAM? May be 4-bank SDRAM, while your memory controller supports
2-bank SDRAM only.
