This is the appropriate list. Although since your problem was with the usb-storage driver, you could have submitted to the list devoted to it. > Here's the error output of my build so far (this is the driver make > portion): > make[3]: Entering directory > `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/drivers/usb/storage' > gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include -Wall > -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common > -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS > -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/linux/modversions.h > -I../../scsi/ -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=usb -c usb.c > -o usb.o > In file included from usb.c:195: > unusual_devs.h:251: error: `US_PR_ZIOCF' undeclared here (not in a function) > unusual_devs.h:251: error: initializer element is not constant > unusual_devs.h:251: error: (near initialization for > `us_unusual_dev_list[25].useTransport') > unusual_devs.h:251: error: `init_ziocf' undeclared here (not in a function) > unusual_devs.h:251: error: initializer element is not constant > unusual_devs.h:251: error: (near initialization for > `us_unusual_dev_list[25].initFunction') That US_PR_ZIOCF giving you so many problems must be a Mandrake addition, or maybe from somewhere else. It's not part of the standard kernel distribution. Looks like you have just a portion of a patched source.
