does 2.4.17-rc2 kernel build with latest woody binutils?
I have 2 disks on the motherboard controller (440bx); installed kernel-image-2.4.16, which saw the hpt370 controller I have; now I want to move the disks on that controller, but it seems that the debian standard kernel doesn't have support for 'boot offboard chipsets first' compiled in (that would allow me to append ide=reverse at bootup); which leads me to compiling my own kernel; but I can't because of the binutils (more exactly because of the kernel). what options do I have? I will happily try 2.4.17-rc2 if it works... any useful suggestions appreciated. dragos

It should do, yes. pre6: [...] - Create __devexit_p() function and use that on drivers which need it to make it possible to use newer binutils(Keith Owens) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Theres is also a simple solution: Just delete .text.edit form the DISCARD section in kernel-source/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds Works fine for me with kernel2.4.16 and binutils2.11.92.0.12.3 I read this in some mailing list, don't remember where though... tom On Thu, Dec 20, 2001 at 10:50:46AM +0200, Dragos wrote: I have 2 disks on the motherboard controller (440bx); installed kernel-image-2.4.16, which saw the hpt370 controller I have; now I want to move the disks on that controller, but it seems that the debian standard kernel doesn't have support for 'boot offboard chipsets first' compiled in (that would allow me to append ide=reverse at bootup); which leads me to compiling my own kernel; but I can't because of the binutils (more exactly because of the kernel). what options do I have?
