Description Tim McAuley 2002-12-14 16:08:14 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
I have been unable to get my Compaq WL200 pci card working and am trying to
rebuild the kernel without pcmcia/cardbus or wireless n/w card support (so I can
use a different pcmcia-cs version and wlan project).

I have updated the kernel to 2.4.18-18-0

The kernel compile fails during the "make" stage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Remove kernel-pcmcia package. (not sure if this affects build or not)

- cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
- make mrproper, make clean, make xconfig.
- Loaded standard i686 kernel config.
- Disabled pcmcia/cardbus support under General
- Disabled wirless n/w card support under n/w devices section.
- Saved config.
- make dep - okay
- make - errors  (see actual results)

Actual Results:  (only the end of the output before the error)

Does it always error the same way in the same place ?


Comment 2 Tim McAuley 2002-12-16 17:48:52 UTC
As far as I remember it does... I will check it out for you in a couple of hours
(at home).

One point I forgot to mention is that I was setting the CPU type to PIII,
Celeron Cuppermine.

I have since tried two other variations (with the same results... how exact I'm
not sure, will check this evening):

1) Standard config - standard CPU config (PII, Celeron) - PCMCIA & wireless disabled
2) Standard config (no changes at all).

Both have failed during "make".





Comment 3 Tim McAuley 2002-12-16 18:40:35 UTC
Created attachment 88761 [details]
attempted compile output

Hmmm... the plot thickens. Some more information for you.

I have just tried to compile the same kernel on a dual PIII 866 in work (using
standard, not smp, i686 config), with similar but not the same results.

I have attached the end results. This may be a completely different bug... but
it is close enough to the last position to raise an eye brow. 

Thanks for all the help.

Comment 4 Tim McAuley 2002-12-17 23:06:28 UTC
Just to confirm. I do get the same error message (as stated in the first report)
on my home machine (even with standard config with no modifications) every time.

Comment 5 Tim McAuley 2002-12-26 17:11:55 UTC
Downloaded and installed the new Kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0. 

Works like a charm!

Thanks for all the help!

(and as a side... have eventually got my Compaq wl200 wirless card to work!)
