Bug 23548 – standalone pcmcia_cs fails to compile on kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r5

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Josh 2003-06-26 14:16:22 UTC]

When I try to compile the standalone pcmcia_cs package under gentoo kernel 
2.4.20-r5, the compilation fails with a fatal error. I noticed that the new 
kernel included an option I hadn't seen before, in the .config, it is labeled 
CONFIG_HZ. I origionally left it at default(200), compiled, and then tried to 
build pcmcia_cs, resulting in the error below. In addition, I tried setting 
this to the previous kernel's default setting(100), this also resulted in the 
same error. I belive the pcmcia_cs compilation error may be in relation to 
this new option in the kernel, but it is completely speculation. pcmcia_cs 
will compile normally under 2.4.20-vanilla, as well as 2.4.21-vanilla, both of 
which do not have the CONFIG_HZ option in the .config

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
2. Configure kernel without PCMCIA support, compile and install, reboot.
3.Compile standalone pcmcia_cs: 'make config' to configure, then 'make all' to 
build drivers.


Actual Results:  
A fatal error occured after issuing the 'make all' command, with references to 
an option in the gentoo r5 kernel config. Complete output pasted :

Expected Results:  
pcmcia_cs should have compiled normally, without any fatal errors. pcmcia_cs 
compiles fine under 2.4.20 vanilla.

1) Do you still get this?
2) It looks like you have corruption of headers/kernel source. Remerge both.

Over 2 months with no reponse. Marking INVALID. feel free to reopen if this is still a problem.
