I was compiling a 2.4.19 kernel this week, and I was presented with some options for Journalling Flash File System and Journalling Flash File System2 support. Being curious, I selected to have them built as modules. Once the kernel was compiled and IPLed, I was getting unresolved symbol errors for the two modules. It turns out the symbols were related to Memory Technology Device (MTD) support. There is no way to select for MTD support, since that's not something that can be installed on a mainframe (I imagine).
So, given that a pre-requisite for the JFFS/JFFS2 code is not available, should they be selectable options on a Linux/390 kernel configuration? I would think not, but I wanted to make sure I was understanding this correctly. Is this something that should be fixed, or not? Mark Post
