Hello list, I was trying to compile 2.6.23 starting from Debian sources, pulled from the apt sources published here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel The 2.6.23 in those repos works a charm: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a Linux vasquez 2.6.23-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 03:58:39 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux but I wanted to add the tickless option to my AMD64 kernel so I downloaded the hrt-1 patch from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tglx/hrtimers/2.6.23/ patch-2.6.23-hrt1.patch.bz2 applied it (no problems there), copied the .config file from the Debian kernel package 2.6.23 in /boot and added the option I needed through [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ make menuconfig Saved my new configuration and then issued [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image After a few seconds I get this error: CC arch/x86_64/vdso/vma.o LDS arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.lds AS arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso-start.o AS arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso-note.o CC arch/x86_64/vdso/vclock_gettime.o CC arch/x86_64/vdso/vgetcpu.o CC arch/x86_64/vdso/vvar.o SYSCALL arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so /usr/bin/ld: section .data [ffffffffff700900 -> ffffffffff700917] overlaps section .text [ffffffffff700600 -> ffffffffff700923] /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .data lma 0xffffffffff700900 overlaps previous sections /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .note lma 0xffffffffff700918 overlaps previous sections /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .eh_frame_hdr lma 0xffffffffff700930 overlaps previous sections /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .eh_frame lma 0xffffffffff700968 overlaps previous sections /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .dynamic lma 0xffffffffff700a08 overlaps previous sections /usr/bin/ld: arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so: section .useless lma 0xffffffffff700af8 overlaps previous sections collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [arch/x86_64/vdso/vdso.so] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/x86_64/vdso] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.23' make: *** [debian/stamp-build-kernel] Error 2 I have searched the interweb and it looks like a known problem, but it also says that it's been fixed in -rc8. I can post the complete log (including .config) if it's needed. Thanks for any help!
