compiling 2.4.0 kernels on potato
Hi, I'm trying to compile 2.4.0-test3 on potato unsuccessfully! The error is: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -fno-strict-aliasing -c -o timer.o timer.c timer.c: In function `update_process_times': timer.c:580: structure has no member named `priority' timer.c:580: `DEF_PRIORITY' undeclared (first use in this function) timer.c:580: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once timer.c:580: for each function it appears in.) make[3]: *** [timer.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make[1]: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 Does somebody successfully compile 2.4.0 in Potato? Any help is welcome!

Ok, its been too damned long since I've had to apply patches to anything. Can you tell me the way the directories need to look in order to apply the patch? Umm, as well as the command needed to apply the patch. Jeez, I feel like a gimp Jonathan Heaney spoke forth with the blessed manuscript: Moritz, the patch has subsequently been corrected - you can use the updates in pub/linux/kernel/testing to get the latest patch. I've amended the relevant section below. use the following patch: --- linux/kernel/timer.c.orig Thu Jul 13 15:51:31 2000 +++ linux/kernel/timer.cThu Jul 13 15:53:25 2000 @@ -577,7 +577,7 @@ p-counter = 0; p-need_resched = 1; } - if (p-priority DEF_PRIORITY) + if (p-nice DEF_NICE) ^^^ wrong way round, it's now or else everything is inverted. There are a few other chages required depending on arhcitecture / what drivers you are compiling so I would get the latest patch from testing (6, which I'm just about to compile - hopefully it has repaired the parport_pc problem that the last few have had, although there's a patch for that too).

Can you tell me the way the directories need to look in order to apply the patch OK assuming your kernel source is in /usr/src/linux, dump the file e.g. test4-pre6.gz into /usr/src/linux and go:- zcat test4-pre6.gz | patch -p1 then make away.
