Description Andreas Leipelt 2004-10-07 00:07:04 UTC

hpet.o in drivers/char is needed, but not compiled. CONFIG_HPET_TIMER is always
set to y, but the Makefile in drivers/char adds hpet.o dependend on the symbol
CONFIG_HPET, which does not exist. I changed CONFIG_HPET in CONFIG_HPET_TIMER in drivers/char/Makefile and all went well.

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