bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.4 busted
Feeling lucky, I tried pulling down the bkbits linux-2.4 repository. It does not compile as usual:
Changing num_smp_cpus to NR_CPUS, as shown below, fixes one compile problem, but I'm not sure if it's the right fix or not.
From file: kernel_stat.h:
/*
* Number of interrupts per specific IRQ source, since bootup */
static inline int kstat_irqs (int irq)
{
int i, sum=0;
for (i = 0 ; i < NR_CPUS ; i++)
sum += kstat.irqs[cpu_logical_map(i)][irq];
return sum;
}#endif
With this 'fix', it gets all the way to the end and then fails to link:fs/fs.o: In function `dput':
fs/fs.o(.text+0x11f68): undefined reference to `atomic_dec_and_lock'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
I'm beginning to think that no-one is actually using the repository. If anyone has any suggestions for a better up-kept bk (or CVS) repository, please let me know.
Thanks,
Ben

I just cloned it back to the 2.4.18 tag and built it for a server class athlon config and it seems to be working. FWIW.
