From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: After installation of RH 9 and of the acpi patch, the kernel does not compile. Here is what I do : I bought a brand new HP Pavillion ze 5400 and I struggle install RH 9.0 on it. Therefore I follow the instructions given on this Web page: http://home.elp.rr.com/mcghees/ze5470us.htm When I compile the kernel image ("make bzImage") after having executed make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/net' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=socket -c -o socket.o socket.c In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/net/tcp.h:1041, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/net/tux.h:38, from socket.c:86: /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/net/tcp_ecn.h: In function `TCP_ECN_send': /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/net/tcp_ecn.h:54: union has no member named `af_inet' /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/net/tcp_ecn.h:61: union has no member named `af_inet' make[2]: *** [socket.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/net' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/net' make: *** [_dir_net] Error 2 "make dep" successfully, I get the following compilation error : Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - I installed RH 9.0 (all packages from the 3 CDs of binary distribution). Therefore, I have the sources of kernel 2.4.20-8 on the machine. I have kudzu and pcmcia not started. - I installed the acpi patch (acpi-20021212-2.4.20.diff.gz) that is normally compatible with the kernel. - I configured the kernel compilation options ("make xconfig"): a/ I chose "Pentium II / Celeron / Pentium Pro" under the processor type and features button (I have an Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz on the labtop).I selected 'n' n for Toshiba and Dell Laptop support. I made sure Local APIC support on uniprocessors is set to n. b/ Under the General setup button, I selected the ACPI Support button,selected y for everything except Toshiba Laptop Extras. c/ under the FileSystems button, I selected m for NTFS system support - I started compile the kernel. "Make dep" went OK. But "make bzImage" went wrong and produced the compilation error. Then "make dep". Then "make bzImage". Additional info:
