Bug 19662 – unable to compile kernel 2.5.67-mm1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andrea Cerrito 2003-04-20 06:33:48 UTC]

Unable to compile kernel 2.5.67-mm1.
This is my error:

  gcc -Wp,-MD,fs/devfs/.base.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=pentium3 -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default
-fomit-frame-pointer -nostdinc -iwithprefix include    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=base
-DKBUILD_MODNAME=devfs -c -o fs/devfs/base.o fs/devfs/base.c
fs/devfs/base.c: In function `devfsd_notify':
fs/devfs/base.c:1426: too many arguments to function `devfsd_notify_de'
fs/devfs/base.c: In function `devfs_register':
fs/devfs/base.c:1460: warning: too few arguments for format
make[3]: *** [fs/devfs/base.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [fs/devfs] Error 2
make[1]: *** [fs] Error 2
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2

Since it fails to compile devfs, I'm unable to use this kernel.

develpoment-source 2.5.67 with same config compiles with no problems.

[Comment 4 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2003-04-20 14:10:20 UTC]

Is there a reason why you need .67-mm1 ?
Please try .67-mm4 or .68-mm1...

If it compiles successfull, this bug is obsolete.

[Comment 5 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2003-04-21 06:21:12 UTC]

resolved / fixed
mm-sources-2.5.68-r1 compiles with your config
(Note: in 2.5.68+ devfs users need to mount the pts filesystem)

Confirmed.
