Hi all, I'm not sure exactly who this should be addressed to but I assume that this list will get this to them. Ok: I have a Sun SparcServer 10, running Debian Testing. Recently Debian has dropped kernel support for sparc32, (as in the kernels have disappeared off their archive) and I am attempting to compile my own. My first issue is the difficulty I am having in getting them small enough: I am using Debian's make-kpkg build system, and am compiling everything as modules in an attempt to get it to boot through SILO. I have selected optimization by size, however this has had no effect. I believe that my current incarnation of my .config will produce a sufficiently small kernel, however I cannot get the modules to build due to various build errors during the MODPOST stage of compilation. These errors relate to iounmap and ioremap being unavailable. (and another symbol which I cannot remember) This makes no sense as these functions are definitely compiled into the kernel. I will provide more detailed error messages later as this system is currently attempting another kernel compilation. My questions are: Are there any pending patches I can try which might fix this? (I am using the sparc-2.6 git tree, updated as of half an hour ago) Are there any tricks, gotchas or general information I need to know for compiling to for this architecture / system?
