Bug 54517 – gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7 fails to compile on AMD64 and x86

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter `MathFox' Roozemaal 2004-06-20 05:46:08 UTC]

I compiled the kernel sources with genkernel and the compilation failed:

Relevant part from genkernel.log:

  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x5a817): In function `cloop_file_io':
: undefined reference to `blk_run_queues'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
* ERROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target...

I am using the standard gentoo kernel configuration files.

I can confirm that error on x86 too:

  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x93c83): In function `cloop_file_io':
: undefined reference to `blk_run_queues'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Fehler 1

This thread offers a work around:

I haven't tried it to confirm (I get the same compile issue as you) due to the missing Broadcom driver noted in another bug (what's the point of a new kernel if I can't access the network ? :-) )  But someone else did post that the work around worked for them.

As this problem does occur on other platforms too, I changed title and platform.
