Description Sheldon Hearn 2007-03-06 13:05:31 UTC

kexec-tools fails to build with linux-headers-2.6.20, because the latter
no longer provides PAGE_SIZE in asm/page.h.

I'm not sure whether it's okay to simply add /usr/src/linux to the header
search path, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

But in the meantime, I'm adding this bug as a blocker against #159304.

what kernel version are you using? Because if it is not in the headers, it should not be in the sources either.

Comment 2 Sheldon Hearn 2007-03-06 14:23:31 UTC

I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.20.  It's a ~x86 box.

asm/page.h got removed from the headers but is needed to build kexec -> headers are broken. Vapier, please advice

if a header doesnt exist, then dont try to include it
