because you wanted a separate bug so badly

Removing the #include line helped compiling, let's see about booting :)

[Comment 2 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2006-11-30 19:38:39 UTC]

Sorry for spam, somehow managed (firefox allowed me) to paste multiline description into summary and didn't clean it fully

[Comment 3 Leonard Khoo 2006-11-30 21:31:12 UTC]

 Removing the config.h include didn't help here.

[Comment 4 Tim Boundy 2006-12-01 01:25:28 UTC]

In drivers/video/vesafb-thread.c I noticed "int errno" surrounded by a #ifdef MODULE statement. Commenting out the conditional statement so errno is declared allows me to build the kernel. It appears to run fine, however this is only a temporary workaround.

[Comment 5 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2006-12-01 02:17:50 UTC]

Indeed, when I wrote comment 1, I was accidentaly compiling as module (which didn't help much on boot :) building it non-module gives me the same as comment 3.

[Comment 6 Mike Auty (RETIRED) 2006-12-01 03:23:01 UTC]

From bug 156705 comment 6, by [e-mail]:

Daniel,

could we please upgrade to:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/archive/vesafb-tng-1.0-rc2-2.6.19-rc2.patch
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/archive/fbsplash-0.9.2-r5-2.6.19-rc2.patch

in gentoo-sources? This should fix any problems related to linux/config.h.

[Comment 7 Lourdes Jones 2006-12-01 14:40:24 UTC]

the speakup patch also has linux/config.h includes. It should be updated as well. 4400_speakup-20061129.patch lines 8367 and 11337.

workaround until the patches are updated '#include <linux/config.h>' should be replaced with '#include <linux/autoconf.h>' in:
drivers/char/speakup/spk_priv.h line 29
drivers/char/speakup/speakup_drvcommon.c line 2
drivers/video/vesafb-thread.c line 9
drivers/video/fbsplash.c line 20
drivers/video/cfbsplash.c line 17

[Comment 8 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-12-01 20:14:41 UTC]

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1. Sorry for the bad initial release.

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-12-02 05:17:01 UTC]

*** Bug 156898 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 10 William Hubbs 2009-09-14 00:04:56 UTC]

At this point that's true.  However, the reason I came up with this
approach is mentioned in comment #16.  Basically, having nox on the
command line and having this init script check the command line for that
means that you have to reboot to undo the affect.
