When I compiled my kernel (configugarion was done by using make menuconfig) I got this error message: ------snip----------------------------------------- GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o: In function `stv0299_writeregI': stv0299.c:(.text+0xa20a9): undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `stv0299_readreg': stv0299.c:(.text+0xa218b): undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `stv0299_readregs': stv0299.c:(.text+0xa2251): undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `mt312_read': mt312.c:(.text+0xa3305): undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `mt312_write': mt312.c:(.text+0xa346a): undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' drivers/built-in.o:: more undefined references to `i2c_transfer' follow drivers/built-in.o: In function `flexcop_i2c_init': : undefined reference to `i2c_add_adapter' drivers/built-in.o: In function `flexcop_i2c_exit': : undefined reference to `i2c_del_adapter' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Fehler 1 ------snip------------------------------------------ Then I checked the help message for the i2c entry and it says, that i2c is needed for 'video for linux'. So did I and make was successful then. Since I do not know if such dependencies are set automatically I set the severity to "enhancement". Maybe there should be a comment in v4l that i2c has to be enabled too?!

Please, don't needlessly restrict bugs. We need your kernel .config. You also neglected to post kernel version.
Created attachment 86750 [details] config file for 2.6.16-gentoo-rt7 Sorry! The attached file is the recent one ... so I 'activated' I2C _manually_ .
reopening after committing .config as requested kernel version is 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 hardware set to AMD64
Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.16-gentoo-r9 / genpatches-2.6.16-11
