Description

I checked the kernel config of RHEL4.5 again, confirmed that CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 has been built as module in x86. But kernels for x86_64 has not built it. Can you build it too under x86_64? Is there any problem which make you disable it? Thanks Yes, this is done and submitted to RH in the nick of time as yesterday was the code cut off date. It's a simple config change for plain x86_64, debug and xen kernels. I'll let your team handle the testing. ;) Bhavana Sorry, my comment pertained to R5.2, ignore but agree should be done for R4.7. R4.7 as I recall has a !64BIT from a prvious issue with 64-bit kernels with no longer exist. Removing this condition and providing configs would help get this in. Bhavana *** Bug 434814 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This issue has not been fixed in the up to date kernel-2.6.9-68.17.EL.x86_64.rpm Please check and fix it, thanks. Remove !64BIT from i2c-piix4 driver so that it will build as a module in x86_64. Seems safe to do given upstream's removal of the same flag -- at one point i2c-piix4 didn't appear on 64-bit systems and when it did eventually show up on 64-bit systems upstream removed the flag. P.
