- It's me again... I'd like to thank everyone who helped with my previous
- slew of questions (you know who you are!). I have a couple more, of course,
- mostly relating to rebuilding kernels.
-
- 1. pl2 won't compile "out-of-the-box" (the box being the file on banjo in
- ../Incoming). I keep getting linker errors to the effect that symbols
- "_IRQn_interrupt" (where n=3,4,5,9) in "irq.o" and "sys_call.o" are
- multiply defined. This keeps make from building kernel.o and we go
- downhill from there.
-
- I looked at the code, and the macro that defines the symbols looks like
- the last one in /usr/src/linux/include/asm/irq.h. But "irq.c" seems to
- be the only program that uses "irq.h" and certainly doesn't explicitly
- call BUILD_IRQ (I _think_ that's the name of the macro) more than once.
- Commenting out the lines where IRQn_interrupt are built in irq.c kills
- the compile as well (surprise! :^)
-
- The pl-2 didn't come with any documentation that I could see. Did I
- miss it?
-
- 2. Currently I have a file called "vmlinux.96c+" in my root directory.
- /etc/config points to this... is this the kernel? How is it related
- to /usr/src/linux/Image. And if I built a new Image yesterday (before
- unpacking pl-2) should I "cp /usr/src/linux/Image /vmlinux.96c+"?
-
- Will getting the right kernel image loaded (please help me do this!)
- fix the $%@! problems with the ps96b package? Remember, I can't build
- the kernal now without fixing problem (1), but I did successfully do
- so yesterday. I may not be loading the kernel I made yesterday, though.
-
- Good News Dept: I'm getting 4 more Megs of RAM tomorrow (brining me to
- 8 total), and by Sunday I should have an almost-new 120Meg HD installed,
- solely for Linux!
