I'm running a Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz, running kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r3

[Comment 1 tklauser 2004-11-05 11:03:40 UTC]

Why are you using "-no-old-linux" on a 2.6 series Kernel?

[Comment 2 tklauser 2004-11-05 11:55:08 UTC]

Sorry, I misunderstood the use flag "no-old-linux". ;)

Can you post emerge info please?

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-11-05 16:51:20 UTC]

try it with CFLAGS="-pipe"

[Comment 5 Neal Tibrewala 2004-11-05 16:56:07 UTC]

Same thing.  I've also tried CFLAGS='-mcpu=i386', no difference.

One thing I haven't tried is upgrading tot he new linux headers, but that means a long recompile of libc and gcc.  Do you think it's related to that?  

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2004-11-05 17:05:49 UTC]

new header files dont require a glibc/gcc rebuild ... a glibc rebuild is recommended, that's all

either way, i doubt that'd fix the problem here, whatever it may be

[Comment 7 Neal Tibrewala 2004-11-07 12:45:55 UTC]

So, I did:

emerge -C flex
emerge -v flex

And tried it again.  Now it compiled fine.  (it didn't change versions)

This was a stage1 installed system, how could my flex binary be broken?

[Comment 8 tuXXer 2005-01-07 14:07:15 UTC]

O.K. following works with version 3.1 (NOT with stable = 3.0)

Removing modprobe.conf and creating modprobe.d and copying any configs for modules.d into it. Mading some changes to configs, because some options are gone, i.e. probeall.

But, to get this work for the future, in my opinion, all ebuilds that install config files into module.d needing adopted configuration for 2.6 and should install this configuration into modprobe.d.

Here are the packages which installing configs into modules.d:
- app-cdr/cdrw-base
- app-laptop/thinkpad
- app-laptop/toshiba-utils
- games-arcade/ddrmat
- media-libs/svgalib
- media-sound/alsa-utils
- media-sound/emu10k1
- media-sound/nforce-audio
- media-tv/ivtv
- media-tv/linuxtv-dvb
- media-video/dxr2-drive
- media-video/em8300-modules
- media-video/nvidia-kernel
- media-video/usb-pwcx
- media-video/usb-pwc-re
- net-dialup/fcdsl
- net-dialup/ltmodem
- net-dialup/ppp
- net-dialup/slmodem
- net-dialup/mwavem
- net-fs/davfs2
- net-misc/e1000
- net-misc/ifenslave
- net-misc/zaptel
- net-wireless/ndiswrapper
- sys-apps/baselayout
- sys-apps/pcfclock
- sys-apps/s390-oco
- sys-apps/x86info
- sys-fs/devfsd
- x11-base/x11-drm

maybe some more.

When making adaptation in the ebuild, in my opinion, it is useful to use "no-old-linux" to not install 2.4 configuration file and only 2.6 adpoted one.
What do you think?

[Comment 9 tuXXer 2005-01-07 14:08:31 UTC]

Ups, wrong thread... Please, ignore my post!

[Comment 10 SpanKY 2005-01-07 17:08:50 UTC]

what stage tarball did you start with Neal ?

[Comment 11 Neal Tibrewala 2005-01-07 17:24:02 UTC]

stage1.  

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2005-01-07 17:55:05 UTC]

what release / version silly billy :P

2004.2 ? 2004.3 ? x86 ? pentium4 ?

[Comment 13 Neal Tibrewala 2005-01-31 12:47:43 UTC]

Well the problem was evidently not in this module, so if this  occurs again with another flex module or in another place, I'll re-open.
