kernel compile problem
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:58 EDT
If I recompile the kernel that is shipped with redhat 7 I get the uptime to 1 on my celeron 633Mhz I have a intel 815 motherboard. Precompiled kernel that ships with RH7 seems to work. I have downloaded the kernel 2.2.17 from kernel.org Unpacked it to /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 ln -s linux-2.2.17 linux make mrpproper make menuconfig make dep make bzImage I get a lot of warning messages and then: tmp/ccpi52Qj.s:877: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l' suffix /tmp/ccpi52Qj.s:957: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l' suffix /tmp/ccpi52Qj.s:958: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l' suffix cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o init_task.o init_task.c make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/kernel' make -C arch/i386/mm make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o init.o init.c cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o fault.o fault.c cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o ioremap.o ioremap.c cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o extable.o extable.c rm -f mm.o ld -m elf_i386 -r -o mm.o init.o fault.o ioremap.o extable.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm' make -C arch/i386/lib make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2 [root@transmetawww linux]# Hope to get a fix TOM
Hi, I get the same problem. I couldn't compile the kernel from the Redhat 7.0 CD (1), and so downloaded 2.2.17 from kernel.org and got exactly the same output. Please fix this as I need to add some things to my kernel configuration and can't at the moment. Mike
Its in the docs - you need to use kgcc not the gcc 2.96. The vanilla kernel has problems that make it break under the newer compiler. Edit the top Makefile and set CC to use kgcc (or pick up a current 2.2.18pre)
Well, I get the same error msg and as a result get no bzImage -- with or without the "export CC=kgcc" before the make.
Aha. Found the problem! I really did forget to do the 'make mrproper' first! So with makr mrproper and 'export CC=kgcc', the kernel compiled just fine (thank you!) and the outcome was the bzImage file I wanted. Yippee! Thanks again.
Would somebody mind posting the proper order? I tried doing the following sequence: make mrproper make xconfig export CC=kgcc make dep make bzImage and ended up with exactly the same errors that you all have been talking about while trying to build the 2.2.17 kernel sources that you've all talked about getting from www.kernel.org Where should I be doing the export and the 'make mrproper' ?
