Bug 80900 – can't compile the kernel

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description baso 2005-02-05 13:08:20 UTC]

I got this error compiling the kernel:

make && make modules_install
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      drivers/net/ppp_async.o

make[2]: *** [drivers/net/ppp_async.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

My kernel version is: 2.6.9-nitro4  

Cuz' I've this error I can't connect to internet; in fact: 
adsl-start
................TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 198: 20786 Terminated              $CONNECT <(echo "$CONFREAD") >/dev/null 2>&1

I don't know how to make the kernel compliling ppp_async and ppp_synctty

Thanks

I don't think this is a GCC porting issue, nor are you using a Gentoo supported kernel.  Try a vanilla kernel and see if you still have compile problems.

So, probably the kernel is the problem. But there's no a way to make this kernel compile?

dont use nitro sources
