Here are more details on a problem I am having building 2.6.31.5
on a Pentium 4.
My .config file is exactly the same as it is on another Pentium 4 where
I can build with no problem, The difference is that that is Fedora11, and
the problem occurs on Fedora6.
I did a
make mrproper
make -j3 bzImage ; make -j3 modules
I then did a
make modules_install
make install
and the install failed with the messages
[root@deneb linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv]# make install
sh /mnt/home/share/usr-src/kernels/linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv/arch/x86/boot/install.sh
2.6.31.5-PPSv arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"
*** Missing file: arch/x86/boot/bzImage
*** You need to run "make" before "make install".
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
I reran the
make bzImage
and got the messages
[root@deneb linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv]# make bzImage

scanning on
sleep_on_common
I find it in
sched.c
doing a
nm sched.o | grep sleep_on_common
I see
[reg@deneb kernel]$ nm sched.o | grep sleep_on_common
00000000 ? sleep_on_common
U sleep_on_common
For __up, it is used in semaphore.c
doing
nm semaphore.o | grep __up
I see
00000000 ? __up
U __up
I will assume that the problem is the '?' that nm is returning.
What can I do about that?
Any way to build this kernel on this OS?
I have tried copying this kernel built on another machine to this
machine, and had other problems (it just stopped during the load).
