Today I downloaded 2.2.11 & ran:
make xconfig
- enabled "set version information on all symbols
and modules" option. didn't change anything else
(smp enabled by default)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
built fine.
ran:
make xconfig
- disabled smp support option. didn't change
anything else
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
build failed.
It appears that the include/linux/modules
directory is not being cleaned at all so
mangled versions of smp & up kernel symbols
are clashing. ( same problem in 2.2.5 as well).
Things work if I manually clean the modules
directory between smp/up builds.
