https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196123 Bug ID: 196123 Summary: Backports Compatibility with RHEL 6.7-6.9 Product: Backports project Version: unspecified Kernel Version: 2.6.32-573 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Backports Assignee: backports@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jordan.wine@xxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Hello, My name is Jordan Wine. I am a Sr Systems Analyst with a large transportation engineering firm and have been trying to install backports-4.2.6-1 ath10k drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7. I have exhausted every resource on google, stack exchange, personal friends and Red Hat Kernel support team and at this point believe there is a compatibility issue with 6.7-6.9 version of RHEL. Let me also add the disclaimer that I am a kernel noob and rely heavily on the knowledge available in the community. I would be happy to be told backports has no such compatibility issue and there is simple configuration issues on my system preventing the install. The issue appears to be in addition to certain header files (autoconf.h and utsrelease.h) not being generated, the header file moduleparams.h included in backports calls the function __kernel_param_lock which is defined in later versions of kernel headers but not in the kernel shipped with RHEL 6.7. These errors occur during the “make” step of installation. This occurred both on kernel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 and on kernel-2.6.32-696.3.1.el6.x86_64 (the latter is shipped with RHEL 6.9). See below for an output of the errors as well as general system information. Very Respectfully, -Jordan Wine [root@pars-lms backports-4.2.6-1]# make defconfig-ath10k cc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o conf.o conf.c cc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o zconf.tab.o zconf.tab.c cc conf.o zconf.tab.o -o conf boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n' boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n' # # configuration written to .config # [root@pars-lms backports-4.2.6-1]# make make[5]: `conf' is up to date. boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n' boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n' # # configuration written to .config # Building backport-include/backport/autoconf.h ... done.
