Description Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen 2004-01-01 11:41:56 UTC
When I turn off the option for "Symmetric multi-processing support" CONFIG_SMP I am unable to compile the kernel. The machines in question have no such support.

This problem is present for 2 out of my 4 machines.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I'm going to reproduce the results, and attach config files, and the error logs.

Can you do me a favor. Copy your .config out, make mrproper or distclean, copy your .config back in, then try again.
Comment 6 Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen 2004-01-02 11:21:56 UTC
That seemed to fix everything.

Some kind of problem with "make dep"?

I'm not sure exactly where the problem is, but I've seen a few other problems fixed by cleaning. I'll see if I can track it down, but I'm going to go ahead and close this bug.

Closing bug
Comment 9 Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen 2005-07-22 11:56:29 UTC
Checking CLOSED could maybe be a good idea.
