hello world, i'm tryiing to compile a 2.4.18 kernel with arm patch applied over it. I tried what was suggested (see below). i did the following steps basically. 1) untarred the kernel tar ball 2) applied the patch patch-2.4.18-rmk1.gz over it without ne problem. 3) did a make menuconfig and in the character devices made support for 8250, 16550 UART's as MODULAR. saved the config. -- Then did the following as suggested 4) cp .config config-2.4.18 5) make mrproper 6) config-2.4.18 .config 7) make oldconfig dep bzImage It failed for bzImage saying unresolved reference to kbd_bh in file ./drivers/char/char.o the file ./drivers/char/keyboard.c has this fxn without the arm patch applied there is no problem. shud i apply a higher ver patch like patch-2.4.18-rmk7.gz Please help thanx mandeep -----Original Message----- From: Lukas Ruf [mailto:ruf@rawip.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 1:04 PM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Re: kernel does not compile with ARM patch applied > Mandeep Singh Sandhu <mandeep_sandhu@infosys.com> [2004-01-20 > 06:44]: > > Hi all, > > i recently downloaded the arm patch (patch-2.4.18-rmk1.gz) and the > vanilla kernel 2.4.18 the patch got applied without ne problems. > only when i was doing a make bzImage (after make dep) it gave the > error in driver/char/char.o saying unresolved reference to kbd_bh in > char.o.
