Hm. Odd. I've built on RHEL 4, so I'm pretty sure that *should* work. We have for some reason gotten a lot of these sorts of bug reports. Every time a "make distclean" followed by a configure/make/make kmod makes the problem go away. Do you still happen to have your pvfs-2.7.0 tree? Could you tar it up and post it on a web or ftp site somewhere? If not, no big deal. > I checked out the more recent 2.7.1pre sourcetree from CVS. > > It does seem to compile just fine, however when I attempt to compile the > kernel-module, it complains because of the missing > function src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c: > class_device_destroy(pvfs2_dev_class, MKDEV(pvfs2_dev_major, 0)) and > in consequence the module created does not load. > What architecture is this?

We go through a lot of effort to keep backwards compatiblitiy with old kernels while supporting the latest 2.6 kernel API changes. It's possible we missed something. It's also likely that the redhat 2.6.9 kernel has been patched to such an extent that we might need an additional configure check or two. Did pvfs-2.6.3 work out ok? What "additional patches" did the failing kernel have? ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
