I'm using gcc 3.2.2
I'll be running my kernel over an Intel PC.
i'm not using ne cross-compiler. there r certain things
that i'd like to use from the patch that's y i'm
applying it even though i run my kernel on an intel
processor. this shud'nt b a prob as the uname -r will
give o/p as i686 and it wont go into the arch/arm dir.

is there ne place where i can download an already patched
kernel. i tried the following link but it does'nt seem
2 work

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

./drivers/char/keyboard.c:static void kbd_bh(unsigned long dummy)

Have you tried to run

'cp .config config-2.4.18
make mrproper
cp config-2.4.18 .config
make oldconfig dep bzImage'

wbr,
Lukas

What version is your version of gcc ? I supose it is a cross compiler
for ARM . Try to use the 2.4.18-rmk7 patch.

Oh! the patch makes considerable changes to the keyboard and some
other drivers. Out of curiosity why would you want to do this?
