sys-kernel/gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7-r4 seems to be affected by the same bug that already hit pre7-r1 to pre7-r3 and has been reported as bug 42416 for pre7-r2. I attached the config file I used to compile the kernel. It worked fine with pre6 and I just copied it from /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre6-gss and run "make oldconfig" afterwards. Since the gs-sources seem to be the best choice for Win4Lin users, I won't be the only one waiting for a working 2.4.25 version (pre6 isn't in the portage tree anymore). The compilation error: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/crypto' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/crypto' make -C arch/i386/mki-adapter CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h" MAKING_MODULES=1 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/arch/i386/mki-adapter' gcc -I. -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -Wall -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -c mki-main.c -o mki-main.o gcc -I. -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -Wall -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -c mkivnet.c -o mkivnet.o gcc -I. -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -Wall -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -c timer.c -o timer.o gcc -I. -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include -Wall -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/include/linux/modversions.h -c mki24.c -o mki.o mki24.c: In function `mkia_alloc_ldt': mki24.c:533: error: structure has no member named `segments' mki24.c:534: error: structure has no member named `segments' make[1]: *** [mki.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3/arch/i386/mki-adapter' make: *** [_mod_arch/i386/mki-adapter] Error 2
Created attachment 29638 [details] The .config used in my try to compile the kernel
CC'ing Livewire who is marked as package maintainer. Hopefully he can provide some insight :) What exactly is mki-adapter? Basically, the mki-adapter patch (http://www.netraverse.com/member/downloads/files/mki-adapter.patch) which seems to be part of this patchset, listens out for the "MM_CONTEXT_HAS_LDT_FIELD" #define. This isn't used anywhere else in the kernel, but I did find this patch which defines it : http://www.netraverse.com/member/downloads/files/Kernel-Win4Lin3-2.6.4.patch Are these two patches supposed to be able to run independantly from each other? Anyway, I'll upload a quick patch to solve this for x86.
Created attachment 34086 [details, diff] fix-mki-adapter.patch
The mki-adapter patch is designed to be run on a range of kernels so it has a lot of voodoo to remain backwards compatible. The mki24.c file works with the "mm_context_t" struct which is part of the regular kernel. Somewhere inbetween 2.4.22 and 2.4.26, this struct changed: http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/asm-i386/mmu.h?v=2.4.22 http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/asm-i386/mmu.h?v=2.4.26 The mki-adapter patch tries to support both configurations. It defaults to using the 2.4.22-style "segments" member, but this behaviour can be modified to use the 2.4.26-style "ldt" member by the definition of the "MM_CONTEXT_HAS_LDT_FIELD" #define. However, the only code I could find that actually conditionally sets that define is in the Win4lin patch, which is separate altogether.
Patch applied. Please sync in a few hours time and try it.
