Hello,
I'm trying to rebuild my kernel to support a vscom 2-port serial card. The card came with a disk having the wrong patches for my kernel version (2.4.20-6 ... smp BTW), but I thought it might work anyway so off I patched (a mistake you say?) I got the Vscom option on make menuconfig but the rest of the make failed: all sorts of errors with undefined in serial.c.
Now I have the correct patch for my kernel version and I want to start all over again. Now, after running the correct patch, I do not get the correct Vscom option during make menuconfig.
Also, as a PLAN B, I saved my original src tree, and copied over the patched files with the originals. When I try this, make menuconfig tells me:
***************************************************
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-orig-orig-vscom/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-orig-orig-vscom/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in .config
Preparing scripts: functions, parsingscripts/Menuconfig: line 1435: 9681 Segmentation fault awk "$1"
Awk died with error code 139. Giving up.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
*****************************************************
and my src dir suddenly has all these MCmenuXX files where XX is from 0 to 59.
yuk!!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
