well here i am again. i looked at the makefile in /usr/src/drivers/net and fixed the problem with bsd_comp.o. it turns out if you have kernel support, it'll try to compiling bsd_comp.o into the kernel, but it says it can only be compiled as a module, meaning you can't select kernel support for ppp for some reason. however, i still can't figure out the other problem. here is the message i get when i do a make zImage:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m386 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h: In function `copro_timeout': /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h: In function `check_fpu': /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:78: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:78: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' /usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 this happens with both the source pkg from stable and unstable tree, so i suspect that it's a problem with the library. i have both libc4 and libc5 and libc5-dev from the unstable tree. i can't really install the libc off the stable tree because it conflicts with libc5-dev, on which the xdevel depends, on which the xslib depends, etc... solutions? should i put the xslib off the stable tree? pls help thanx -- \__/ Junebug | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \__/ (o-) URL: http://solo.gtri.gatech.edu/~jun (--) //||\\ Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Einstein //||\\ Bug Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff.
