Kernel 2.2.16-21 problems...
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:57 EDT
Here are some of the things I noticed: 1. The changelog sais 3c90x driver is 1.0.0i but it is still 1.0.0d not the latest. 2. Kernel does not compile if agp support is built into the kernel (not as a module). The Makefile looks for agpgart.o and cannot find it and fails. 3. What is the deal with the headers? I figured out that the system includes from kernel-headers-2.4.0-0.21 should be saperate from the includes files /usr/src/linux/include/linux.....is this a new convention? I was trying to compile NVIDIA drivers and of course they fail when they call /usr/include/linux/modversions.h.... there should be a longer explanation and instructions when a makefile calls it including what gcc flags to use to achieve this (some of us are not experts).
1 is known and will be fixed http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12987 2 is known and won't be fixed for the next release unless someone comes up with a patch that doesn't break dynamic compiling in time. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13424 3 is following Linus's orders Because you submitted three bugs in one report I can't close this as a duplicate of either of the two that it duplicates, so I'm going to close it as "notabug" regarding 3... :-)
