Hi All, I have dev box setup on VMware workstation 6.0. In which I have rhel3 U8 AS OS. Where I am compiling linux-2.6.22.tar.gz kernel.
Steps:- - downloaded the linux-2.6.22.tar.gz - extracted it as #tar -zxvf linux-2.6.22.tar.gz #cd linux-2.6.22 - configure it as #make defconfig - checked dependency #make dep (there is not dependency at all) - compiled it as #make At last i hit the following warning messages. <snip> MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xf9a2): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:trampoline_end (between 'setup_trampoline' and 'cpu_coregroup_map') WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xf9a8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:trampoline_data (between 'setup_trampoline' and 'cpu_coregroup_map') WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xf9b5): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:trampoline_data (between 'setup_trampoline' and 'cpu_coregroup_map') WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x19): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'cache_remove_dev' and 'powernowk8_exit') WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x1008): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier' and 'mce_work') WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x1755f): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head') AS arch/i386/boot/bootsect.o LD arch/i386/boot/bootsect AS arch/i386/boot/setup.o LD arch/i386/boot/setup AS arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.o CC arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.o include/asm/processor.h: In function `native_get_debugreg': include/asm/processor.h:531: warning: asm operand 0 probably doesn't match constraints include/asm/processor.h: In function `native_set_debugreg': include/asm/processor.h:558: warning: asm operand 0 probably doesn't match constraints OBJCOPY arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin BFD: Warning: Writing section `.bss' to huge (ie negative) file offset 0xc051e000. objcopy: arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin: File truncated make[2]: *** [arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2 make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.22] </snip> Is I am missing something?
