Description Bruno Roggeri 2005-08-29 13:41:09 UTC

Compilation fails, at least with the attached .config 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9 
2. copy attached .config in source directory 
3. make &> kbuildlog 
 
Actual Results:  
Compilations goes on for a while and then fails with : 
  
drivers/built-in.o(.data+0x57778): undefined reference to `cfb_fillrect' 
drivers/built-in.o(.data+0x57780): undefined reference to `cfb_copyarea' 
drivers/built-in.o(.data+0x57788): undefined reference to `cfb_imageblit' 
drivers/built-in.o(.data+0x57790): undefined reference to `soft_cursor' 
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 
 
the full log is in the attached kbuildlog file 

Expected Results:  
a kernel's job :)

Is this reproducable with gentoo-sources-2.6.13?

Comment 4 Bruno Roggeri 2005-08-29 14:23:54 UTC

Well 2.6.13 doesn't have any amd64 keywords yet, but i guess i can just try.

Comment 5 Bruno Roggeri 2005-08-29 15:15:40 UTC

The same error occurs. 
 
These are the steps i took : 
I edited gentoo-sources-2.6.13.ebuild to have the amd64 keywords and ran 
"ebuild gentoo-sources-2.6.13.ebuild digest". (i didn't want to 
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in case this would influence the ebuild behaviour - but 
maybe i'm wrong) 
Then : emerge gentoo-sources, copy former .config in the source directory and 
make oldconfig (and make menuconfig to check what were all those new 
things :) ) 
Finally : make 
 
And i ran into the same problem. I can post the "new" .config and the build 
log, but they're pretty similar to the old ones. 
 
This is just a (silly?) wild guess based on the names of the offending symbols, 
but could it be that the problem comes from me selecting both rivafb and 
nvidiafb (as modules) ?

Ah, this is the vesafb-as-module thing again. Just build it into your kernel.
