From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020328 Description of problem: The file or folder "ulib" is not present in the the kernel source RPM (kernel-souce-2.4.18-0.12.i386.rpm). Ulib is referenced three times in the makefile, each time with very little information about its location. I believe it is supposed to be located in the main linux-2.4.18-0.12 folder. The one informative reference is that ulib/libredhat-kernel.so.1 is supposed to installed into %(TOPDIR)/lib/kernel/$(KERNELRELEASE)/, which it already is when the RPM is installed. I can find scant (relevant) references to a ulib folder anywhere on the internet (with the only obscure referneces coming from RedHat). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.make bzImage 2. 3. Actual Results: complains that no file or folder "ulib" is present. Expected Results: the compilation of the bzImage should have run to completion, which it does if all references to ulib are commented out of the makefile. Additional info: I am using gcc-2.96-109. The regular kernel RPM that I am using works perfectly 2.4.18-0.12, but I wanted to add agpgart to the kernel. I appologize if there is an RPM that I have not installed, but I received no dependency complaints when the kernel-source RPM was installed.
If the three references to ulib are commented out and the new/custom kernel and modules are installed everything appears to work (i.e. compiles, installs, boots, and runs fine). However, this does not provide a real solution to the problem.
This is indeed a bug in the spec for kernel-source; fixed for 2.4.18-0.13 which should appear in rawhide soon. Thanks for reporting
