Re: [ACPI] Please, please help me enable a serial port.

[Alexander I. <ale...@is...>]

I added -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default to the compile line which made it
compile. But inserting it reported "-1 Invalid module format". The I trie=
d
adding -DKBUILD_NAME and -DKBASE_NAME and then I got "-1 Unknown symbol i=
n
module". The output from dmesg states:

fpi2002: Unknown symbol cli
fpi2002: Unknown symbol sti

So once again I'm stuck.

Thanks for you time and effort.
