I seem to have general problems with 8.0 at compiling a kernel. I had problems with my own personal .config file, buit then I tried things out on other 8.0 machines and I'm still having problems. Here's a specific example: I copy config/kernel-2.4.18-athlon-smp.config up to .config and run make clean make depend make bzImage The bzImage craps out with the following: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4 -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=adma100 -c -o adma100.o adma100.c cc1: warning: -malign-functions is obsolete, use -falign-functions adma100.c: In function `ide_init_adma100': adma100.c:21: structure has no member named `pci_dev' make[3]: *** [adma100.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/ide' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/ide' make[1]: *** [_subdir_ide] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 Am I nuts or is this not really happening? Have others succeeded at building kernels? What do I need to do to debug this? I really want this to work :-( TIA -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

What if this weren't a hypothetical question? steveo@syslang.net
