Re: Kernel compilation error

2005-01-09 Thread Alex Papadopoulos
Yes I have, with the latest provided by debian : 2.6.9
The problem seems to be unrelated to the version of the kernel because even 
module compilation fails, as I stated before.

Thanks for helping

Hi
Have you tried to compile another 2.6.x kernel with your 2.6.5/.config
? Moreover you will have an up to date kernel.
 Good luck,
 Rem

Re: Kernel compilation error

2005-01-09 Thread Alex Papadopoulos
I do have all the necessary packages. The thing is that I configured my 
kernel a couple of months ago (when 2.6.5 was the latest stable kernel 
version). It worked fine. Yesterday I found shfs module, and while trying to 
compile it I got this error message.

It isn't a normal compilation error, all the more, the message says 
SEGMENTATION FAULT, which means that something goes wrong, really wrong. I'm 
wondering if it's my gcc that's having problems. Might have to reinstall it, 
if that's possible.

What can I do to force the compilation with another version of GCC, I seem 
to have 3 of 4 versions installed (2.9something, 3.3 and 3.4 I think) ?


and of course you have all the packages needed to compile a kernel ?
gcc
kernel-package
libncurses5-dev
module-init-tools ( pour 2.6 uniquement )
binutils
modutils
And yes, I saw that the compilation processus failed really early,
it's strange, it doesn't look like a wrong configuration with make
menuconfig, it's like a bug.

Re: Kernel compilation error

2005-01-09 Thread Alex Papadopoulos
I removed some of my gcc's, keeping the gcc-x.x-base files though, they 
seemed necessary. I tried again, same error. The funny thing, even 'make 
clean' fails :

...
/bin/sh: line 1: 15413 Segmentation fault  gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude 
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common 
-pipe -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -S -o

...

That's really weird, and starts to worry me a little bit... Something's 
wrong and I really can't find what it might be... (since apparently it isn't 
a general gcc bug, I wouldn't be the only one having it...)

 make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
I saw this too when compiling 2.4.16, running an up-to-date Woody
system. I'll wait for 2.4.17. 

While I'm waiting, I have 2 questions for kernel-hackers:

1. I'm currently running 2.4.12, which I built and installed using the
kernel package system (very cool!). Now how can I compile and install a 
single moduler? The docs cover how to rebuild  resinstall all the
modules, but that seems like overkill...

2. Where can I get a config file that matches the build options for one
of the pre-compiled kernel packages? I'd like to be able to start with
one of those configs as a base for customization.

TIA, Paul

It seems that the bug comes from the binutils package and can be solved by 
downgrading binutils.
It also seems that it will be fixed in the kernel 2.4.17.

No it doesn't. The bug is in the kernel sources, and older versions of

You need to install the binutils package; it contains as86.
The vmlinux file is not the kernel you want to use with LILO;
use arch/i386/boot/zImage or bzImage instead.

 I'm not a developer, but it may be that you have PCI and have set some PCI
 options that require others that aren't set.  So when it tries to gain the
 needed info for one feature it can't get the info because the needed
 feature isn't in the include path.

You used to get problems like these if you turned off PCI, but compiled
in a driver that used PCI, like some of the network cards. (I'm recalling
this from the 1.2.x days.) Usually this happens when you compile in all
the network drivers, rather than just the ones you need.

It doesn't really hurt to have PCI enabled when you don't have a PCI
machine, anyway.

I'm not a developer, but it may be that you have PCI and have set some PCI
options that require others that aren't set.  So when it tries to gain the
needed info for one feature it can't get the info because the needed
feature isn't in the include path.

Just a guess.  Hope it helps.

The problem is that I have no PCI and did not select PCI in the
configuration process (make xconfig).

I am now downloading the kernel-source (2.0.29) as somebody suggested
that 2.0.30 might be unstable. 

Thanks for your response.

Johann.

I thought that at first but didn't think that compiling the kernel without
PCI enabled it would figure it out for it's self.  If so how could you
compile a kernel for another machine?

 I am now downloading the kernel-source (2.0.29) as somebody suggested
 that 2.0.30 might be unstable. 

From what I'm hearing, the only bug in this kernel involves modules.
There was a previous posting on editing the modules file to install them
correctly for 2.0.30.

Other than that it actually fixes some problems with 2.0.29.  IP masq for
example.  Maybe adds feature would be a better description.
