From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021203 Description of problem: The swsusp patch that's been applied to the RH kernel sources is incomplete, and causes a build failure if CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is enabled. Also - since the patch has already been (badly) applied, it's not possible (easy, anyway) to re-apply it correctly. Specifically, Drivers/ide/ide-disk.c hasn't been patched with the needed suspend/resume functions. $ uname -a Linux walkabout 2.4.18-19.8.0 #1 Thu Dec 12 05:39:29 EST 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ rpm -q kernel-source kernel-source-2.4.18-19.8.0 $ grep SOFTWARE_SUSPEND /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND in your kernel config 2. attempt to build the kernel 3. observe the build (link) failure Additional info:
I should probably also mention that I generated my config by copying configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config, and only changed that particular parameter (CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND). It's also interesting to note that taking the shipped config, running make xconfig, and immediately saving the configuration (making no changes) results in a very different config file.
it looks like the patch is being applied as part of patch-2.4.19-rc1-ac1(.bz2) - and that it's complete in that patch - I'm not yet sure where/how it's getting snarfed, but I'll post anything I find here.
got it - looks like it's being unapplied by linux-2.4.18-idebackport.patch - which was diff'ed against the CVS HEAD.
We don't plan to do anything with software suspend support at this time.
I don't suppose you could remove the partially applied patch so folks who want to do something with software suspend have a fighting chance?
current errata kernels no longer have it
excellent, thanks for the info.
