From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: If more detail is required please let me know - I have my .config file available and can specifically replicate the errors -- If you make mrproper, copy a default config file from configs (i686 uniprocessor in my case) to the top level directory and make oldconfig dep clean bzImage modules -- the compilation will die at various points in the modules phase. I have removed all the offending items but now my vmware modules will not compile against the new kernel I have built - a problem with the bridge.c file, line 653 too many parameters. This is a common error I found during the compile problems -- too many parameters and then a fatal error.I do not understand how the kernel could have been built against these sources as a default build fails. Problems specifically with the ieee1394 modules, gigabit network modules, AFS filesystem - all enabled by default. The only mitigating factor is that I have commented out my "extraversion" info in my top level Makefile and changed the patch to 1824 - this is required as the ng-wlan drivers will not compile against a RH kernel with extraversioning enabled. I have no problems with kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0, it all works great. Problem has only arisen since 2.4.18-24 was released. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Follow RedHats instructions on compiling a custom kernel - use make oldconfig or make menuconfig - problem still occurs. 2. 3. Actual Results: make modules failed. Expected Results: make modules should have worked and a working kernel should have resulted. Additional info: See bug description
Had same problems, solved them by issuing make clean make mrproper then loading a default configuration in configs/ I just compiled again after editing the configuration, still have to check the kernel, but beware that make install fails at some point and you have to make a dir to install the kernel (other bug submitted).
