[Gumstix-users] Kernel Compilation queries...

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hello All

I attempted to recompile a kernel for my gumstix today, just to see the 
options and get an idea of the procedure.

First of all, i followed the instructions found here:
http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=101&topics_threshold=0&topics_offset=12&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&topics_find=&forumId=3
Under the Build a gumstix kernel header.

Since i am using the gumstix just with the STUART and cfstix boards i 
decided to remove the bluetooth and sound stuff and try and recompile.

after menuconfig, when i try to "make" i get a page of errors for file 
asm-offsets.s...Specifically the errors are as follows:

make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 2

I get the same errors even if i wont touch any of the options (I saved 
the original configuration before i do any modifications)

The second question i have is about U-Boot and the cfstix. Is the cfstix 
been recognised as a pcmcia type device? Can i use it from UBoot to load 
the kernel from the compact flash card? Is a compact flash memory card 
accessed through mtd?

All the best.
