Description of problem:
Make bzImage fails with:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:360: previous declaration of
`__alloc_pages' on 2.4.16-0.7 (and several previous patch levels).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install rpm
2. build kernel:
3.make mrproper oldconfig config dep clean bzImage modules
	

Actual Results:  Build fails with:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-Wno-unused -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686    -c -o
page_alloc.o page_alloc.c
page_alloc.c:509: conflicting types for `__alloc_pages'
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:360: previous declaration of
`__alloc_pages'
make[2]: *** [page_alloc.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/mm'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/mm'
make: *** [_dir_mm] Error 2


Expected Results:  Working kernel :)

Additional info:

The system is 686 + SMP + ide. The config is a custom config which is
mostly a RH config with various components disabled (scsi, joystick, irda,
etc).  

[root@feenix src]# rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.16-0.7

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-12-10 08:26:48 UTC

Did you by chance turn on CONFIG_MXT in the config ? MXT is currently
non-compiling (IBM is fixing)

Comment 2 Hal Burgiss 2001-12-10 14:55:30 UTC

Yes, bingo! That was it. Thanks.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-12-13 09:02:09 UTC

I've disabled the MXT patch completely for now until it gets into a working
state again; "fixed in rawhide"
