Hi there, I#'m a linux newbie in somewhat over my head trying to get sound to work on my new machine. I've had to recompile the kernel several times, and on my latest attempt I keep getting the same error over and over again. I'm using the make-kpkg command on debian -- which I htink is pretty similar to the standard kernel build, just more automated & builds the .deb package -- and anyway, as a non-programmer I'm someewhat lost. I get the following error message: init/main.c: In function `root_dev_setup': init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:296: sizeof applied to an incomplete type init/main.c:298: sizeof applied to an incomplete type make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 The problem seems to be with a line in main.c regarding root_device_name (I think it has to do with identifying the root partition). Anyway, does anyone know how the variable is initialized, so I can trace the problem back to its source? Has anyone seen anything similar in the past? THanks for your help. If this is the wrong place to be asking this kind of question, pleasel et me know. matt -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
