2.5.24 doesn't compile on Alpha

After applying this diff to get past the most obvious errors:

[yes, it applies clean against 2.5.24 still]

I know I can fix the smp_num_cpus thing, but the prepare_arch_switch() etc. things are another matter. Every now and again I see a post to lkml for the Alpha, which suggest some people succeed in compiling it. Any hints?

Thanks,

OK. Found it... Here...

I took it out. I guess it's not needed anymore because of this:

Right? :o)

I'll probably have to fiddle with my .config to solve this.

Thanks,

I think this "bug" appears with some binutils some weeks/months old. Try to upgrade them.

I'm not hitting this bug, but for me, ./arch/alpha/kernel/head.o isn't build (actually, there aren't any .o files in that directory), even if I try to explicitely compile head.o by 'make arch/alpha/kernel/head.o'. Any hints there?

Hmm, I had an up-to-date debian testing system.
So I upgraded to the latest binutils from unstable, that didn't work. Then I downloaded binutils-2.12.1 from source and installed that - still doesn't work.
The latest from unstable was 2.12.90.0.9.

None, but could you please tell me what version of binutils you're using?

Thanks,
Jurriaan

I'm working with binutils-2.12.90.0.7-3 from Rawhide, because my base-system is RedHat. And this version worked well. I'm also using gcc-3.1-6 and glibc-2.2.4-24.

I hope this helps...

The patch worked well and did what my patch did not yet. :o) I compiles without problems. I'll try to boot the machine tommorow (at work).

I'll send you the results. :o)

Hi Ivan!

I cannot boot the kernel... Here's the problem... But what does this mean? "swapper"? Has this something to do with swap?
