Description Lukas Mol 2002-06-08 15:27:40 UTC

It seems the function expand_stack from (mm.h (kernel sources)) needs 
three arguments, whereas it is used with two in the file mmu.c (from mol).

Comment 1 Mark Guertin 2002-06-08 15:38:12 UTC

Try upgrading to the -r5 kernel release, there were some known problems with
-r4.  Mac On Linux just emerged ok for me with 2.4.19-r5

Comment 2 Lukas Mol 2002-06-09 08:54:32 UTC

Just tried it with -r5 instead of -r4, but no succes either. The mm.h file is 
unchanged with respect to -r4. uname -a still reports me as running -r4 
though (could this be due to a 'make oldconfig'?)

Comment 3 Bitt Faulk 2002-06-09 16:55:14 UTC

I would just like to confirm Lukas's bug report on an unrelated machine.  I get 
the exact same symptoms on a brand-new installation, including the incorrect 
versioning of the kernel, and I used ``menuconfig''.

Comment 4 Mark Guertin 2002-06-09 18:11:49 UTC

I am going to pass this one along to kainz, defintely a kernel problem as it  
emerged fine for me for -r3 (the first one was -r3 and not -r5 as I had said) 
and also emerges cleanly on non-gentoo sources (2.4.19-pre10-ben0).

ppc-sources-2.4.19-r6 is released, and is much cleaner.
