Hi Alan, all,
The attached .config fails to build on 2.4.22-pre3-ac1, but builds (and
runs) fine on 2.4.22-pre3. The build error (during linkage) is:
(make bzImage)

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
The symbol xapic_support is defined in arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c as
"extern unsigned int xapic_support;"
But it is declared nowhere. Note that the symbol is new in -ac1.
>From comparing the pre3 and pre3-ac1 versions of io_apic.c, I conclude that
this is some unfinished work and not a typo. What probably is missing is some
change to another file that should decare (and set) xapic_support.
Sorry for not being able to submit a patch, but I hope my analyses helps.
Regards,
Bas.

Hello Bas,
there is two ways to fix this, you can use the the patch by Steven Cole
(I'll attach it).
Or then you untar the 2.4.21 to another dir and download 2.4.21-ac4
patch and patch the new kernel that you just untarred, and then you copy
$2.4.21-ac4kerneldir/arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c to
$2.4.22-pre3-ac1kerneldir/arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c, then it compiles
right. Good luck!
Regards
