Description Alonso Schaich 2003-06-20 12:32:45 UTC

In the file (gentoo-2.4.20-r5 source)/drivers/ide/ide-cd.h in row 440:
"__u8 short slot_tablelen;"
I don't know why gcc <= 3.2.3 accepts this, but gcc 3.3 and intelC x.x don't. 

this can be fixed in replacing "__u8 short slot_tablelen;" with "short
slot_tablelen;"

this is fixed for gcc3.3 in pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre12 which will become gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6. if you need gcc use this kernel for now.

Comment 2 Wolfgang Herder 2004-06-15 08:04:49 UTC

still happens in 2.4.19-gentoo-r13, -r14, and -r15
No big thing, but this the (AFAIK only) 2.4 gentoo kernel that still contains the cryptoapi patch.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Herder 2004-06-24 14:59:38 UTC

ok now in -r17
