2.4.24 doesn't compile clearly...

Hi to all.
I've download 2.4.24 and I patched it with ck1 and lm_sensor 2.8.2. Make dep is ok, but make bzImage gives:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o

if I set sisfb as module.

D998:/usr/src/linux# grep -i sis .config
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=y
CONFIG_SIS900=m
CONFIG_I2C_SIS5595=m
CONFIG_I2C_SIS630=m
CONFIG_I2C_SIS645=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_SIS5595=m
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_DRM_SIS=y
CONFIG_FB_SIS=m
CONFIG_FB_SIS_300=y
CONFIG_FB_SIS_315=y
D998:/usr/src/linux#

However, if I compile sisfb statically all works fine... TIA,
Jorge

no lexical mistakes, but misleading information. It's not 2.4.24 which does not compile for you, but a patched 2.4.24. Your message is only relevant if you get the same error on plain 2.4.24.

Hi Willy,

Now I've compiled a vanilla 2.4.24 and it breaks exactly like the one I
patched: sisfb was compiled as module.

Hi Mario,

this is a well-known bug.

Workaround:
Either set CONFIG_DRM_SIS=m or CONFIG_FB_SIS=y .
