Note that Red Hat does not support customer-built kernels.
The RHEL3 kernel is built on RHEL3 using the gcc 3.2 toolchain. Later
versions of gcc may have problems with some of the syntax used in the
RHEL3 kernel sources. Are you attempting to build this kernel on a
system that uses gcc 3.3 or 3.4? If so, and if you have gcc32
installed, you can force it to be used by saying:
"make CC=gcc32 HOSTCC=gcc32"
If you are having difficulty with the Tyan 2885, you should submit a
separate bug report for it. First, I suggest that you try the RHEL3
Update 3 kernel which should become generally available on RHN later
this week (i.e. first week of September 2004). A fix for Tyan 2885
AGP is included in that update and it may address your problem.
This is a fine response, unless the whole reason we are trying to build a custom kernel is to to help you folks (the dedicated redhat engineers) debug a problem. For example, I need to compile in some test patches, so it is inconvenient that I can't get the stock kernel source, with the proper unmodified config files, to compile when I've not even changed anything. It seems that I get a similar problem when looking to compile a custom U4 2.4.21-27EL-smp kernel (with the mmap-invalidate patch for GPFS) on an IBM x326, MSI MS-9145v3 board, Opteron 248 Got round the usercopy.c going by back to gcc323 from gcc34 (customer requirement), as mentioned above. : undefined reference to `plat_node_data' net/network.o(.text.init+0xe4f): In function `ip_rt_init': : undefined reference to `xfrm_init' net/network.o(.text.init+0xe55): In function `ip_rt_init': : undefined reference to `xfrm4_init' net/network.o(.text.init+0x1a08): In function `xfrm_user_init': : undefined reference to `xfrm_register_km' net/network.o(__ksymtab+0xaf0): undefined reference to `skb_cow_data' net/network.o(__ksymtab+0xb00): undefined reference to `pskb_put' net/network.o(__ksymtab+0xb10): undefined reference to `skb_to_sgvec' make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.EL' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2 [root@h1schd001 linux-2.4]# still looking at this User jparadis's account has been closed The AGP not being detected issue was resolved in RHEL3 several releases back.

System: AMD Opteron x86_64 Hardware: Tyan Thunder K8W S2885ANRF Main Board OS : Redhat EL WS 3.0 Problem: The inability of the Linux kernel on the Tyan S2885 main board to find the AMD-8151 AGP Tunnel. The AMD-8151 AGP controller is not at the normal PCI address, and the Linux kernel had to be modified to account for the change. Two patches (from Tyan) fix the problem for most kernels and for the Red Hat kernel. make bzImage fails! Restored original source code without Tyan patch did a make oldconfig and make dep. Make bzImage still fails: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Wno-unused -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-red-zone -mcmodel=kernel -pipe -fno-reorder-blocks -finline-limit=2000 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=usercopy -c -o usercopy.o usercopy.c usercopy.c: In function `__clear_user': usercopy.c:68: error: invalid punctuation ` ' in constraint make[2]: *** [usercopy.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL/arch/x86_64/lib' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL/arch/x86_64/lib' make: *** [_dir_arch/x86_64/lib] Error 2 Searching on line (http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/Jan/3581.html) found that there is an error in the source code in usercopy.c - : [size1] "r"(size & 7), "[size8]" (size / 8), "[dst] "(addr), + : [size1] "r"(size & 7), "[size8]" (size / 8), "[dst]"(addr), The extra space after [dst].
