Still the same driver. Do you have any idea what the last kernel was that did boot ? (makes searching for the breaking change simpler ;) Had no success with kernels-2.4.16 at all. Kernels built from source are 2.4.16-0.6, 0.11, 0.13, see below. The unresolved symbols should not affect the boot, is only for information. The first two kernels were built with binutils-2.11.92.0.7-2, the last one with binutils-2.11.92.0.12-4. All are built with gcc-3.1-0.10, glibc-2.2.4-20, modutils-2.4.12-3 installed. Kernels between 2.4.9 and 2.4.16 have not been built from source due to either space problems or failures when compiling. kernel-2.4.16-0.6.src.rpm: depmod:*** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.16-0.6/kernel/drivers/char/ip2main.o depmod: iiEllisCleanup kernel-2.4.16-0.11.src.rpm: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.16-0.11/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o depmod: sis_malloc_Ra3329ed5 depmod: sis_free_Rced25333 kernel-2.4.16-0.13.src.rpm: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.16-0.13/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o depmod: sis_malloc_Ra3329ed5 depmod: sis_free_Rced25333 Now also kernel-2.4.9-18 is in the unbootable kernel collection. Hangs at the same place as kernels-2.4.16-0.x. The latest kernel booting is 2.4.9-13. However, it is downloaded, not natively compiled. The latest natively compiled kernel is 2.4.9-0.5. The following modules are loaded in the current running kernel (2.4.9-13): aic7xxx 114624 7 sd_mod 11676 7 scsi_mod 98424 2 [aic7xxx sd_mod] gcc-3.1 is unfortionatly not yet suitable for compiling kernels..... Are you sure it's the compiler, the kernel is pure c-code? Maybe the kernel is at fault... Also, when compiling with gcc-3.1 _numerous_ warnings are issued, one for example is inline assembly for calculating checksums, which fails, etc... |
