Hi
Just recently got a Compaq Presario 700 series laptop, which does things
entirely by ACPI and not APM. I tried to compile 9.0's kernel but ran into
trouble.
1) make xconfig
Here are the things that I changed from the default values:
Processor type and features > Processor Family : from 586 to athlon/duron/k7
Processor type and features > Local APIC support on uniprocessors: from 'yes'
to 'no'
General Setup > ACPI support > from 'no' to 'yes'
and all the other ACPI options in General Setup from 'no' to 'yes'
2) make dep
3) make clean
4) make bzImage
5) make modules
6) make modules_install
This process exits with these last couple of lines:
<snip>
make -C arch/i386/lib modules_install
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/arch/i386/lib'
cd /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkcustom; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.19-16mdkcustom;
fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/hotplug/ibmphp.o
depmod: IO_APIC_get_PCI_irq_vector
</snip>
It must be possible to build the kernel with ACPI, but without APIC as I have
seen numerous website who suggest doing just that. Is this something specific
to the mandrake kernel? Maybe I'll try the stock one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
