Hello all!
I am really getting a hard time compiling the 2.4.14..
My current system has a 2.4.13 (by patching all the way
from 2.4.9), so I patched the sources, yes after make clean,
make menuconfig, and make dep ; make bzImage, I get this
message (during the compilation of vmlinux )
fs/fs.o: In function `dput':
fs/fs.o(.text+0x10ad5): undefined reference to `atomic_dec_and_lock'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
Prior to this I was getting this problem, described in a
message on this mailing list, about
drivers/block/block.o: In function `lo_send':
drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x40eb): undefined reference to
`deactivate_page'
drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x4119): undefined reference to
`deactivate_page'
which I solved with the instructions of
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100533846016359&w=2
Could someone give me some instruction on what could be
the problem, and hopefully, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

too much patching can't be good...
you should get the sources of the 2.4.14 and you'll have less headaches

You need to make mrproper. There is a spurious #define for
atomic_dec_and_lock lurking in the old modversion tables.

If the patches are applied properly, and no rejects are noticed, then you
should be able to patch as much as you want, and it will be the same as af
downloading directly from kernel.org.
Now, if there was a previous kernel compile, and then several patches
applied, (say from 2.4.0 all the way up to 2.4.14...) then you'll probably
have to run "make mrproper" as mentioned by Keith...
If I've left anything out, please let me knwo...

Yeap, it was make mrproper what i had to do to make
the headache go away! It didn't even cross my mind it could
be that simple..
Thanx all of you guys
