Description Greg Wiley 2003-10-20 17:54:51 UTC

The kernel fails to build when the
OS/2 LVM option is selected. It bails
with the message:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.23_pre7-gss/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=pentium3  -DEVMS_INFO_LEVEL=EVMS_INFO_DEFAULT -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=os2lvm_vge  -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c os2lvm_vge.c
os2lvm_vge.c: In function `Clone_Bufferhead':
os2lvm_vge.c:2391: structure has no member named `b_inode'
make[3]: *** [os2lvm_vge.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23_pre7-gss/drivers/evms'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2

make[1]: *** [_subdir_evms] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23_pre7-gss/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2



This happens for the module option as
well.

this fails on any 2.4.21+ based kernel, needs fixing upstream.

There's a hack that solves this problem in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43271
