Hello, I am using the kernel 2.2.16-22 and tried to patch ieee1394 to it (the latest version - 2.2.18-20001223), but during the process, the following error occured and could not install the modules. (Error messages are in Japanese therefore they may somewhat different than the exact English version messages) I did exactly in line with the instruction on linux1394.sourceforge.net/start_install.html except in the following situations. When pathcing: > can't find patch in line 259. the text leading up to this was: > diff -ruN linux-2.2.orig/arch/ppc/config.in linux-2.2/arch/ppc/config.in > --- linux-2.2.orig/arch/ppc/config.in Sat Dec23 03:54:38 2000 > --- linux-2.2/arch/ppc/config.in Sat Dec23 03:56:20 2000 I looked into the /usr/src directory and I found config.in under /usr/src/linux-2.2/arch/i386. Therefore I put that path in the prompt ("FIle to patch") then I could proceed. I executed xconfig and set the configuration and save & exit. When make dep: > /usr/src/linux-2.2/Rules.make:259 the target "irport.o" were given several times within the same rule. When make bzImage: > make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] error 1 > make[1]: *** [first_rule] error 2 > make: *** [_dir_kernel] error 2 Then I could not proceed anymore. If anyone experienced the same kind of situation and got over it, please let me know how it could be resolved. Thank you! Katsuhiro Inoue |

Therefore I put that path in the prompt ("FIle > to patch") then I could proceed. I am quite certain that the -p0 switch should be used with the recent patches as opposed to -p1. I'll confirm this and update the site documentation as needed. > I executed xconfig and set the configuration and save & exit. > > When make dep: > > /usr/src/linux-2.2/Rules.make:259 the target "irport.o" were given several > times within the same rule. > This looks related to the Infrared Port driver.

There could be a number of issues compiling the kernel. Were you able to compile the kernel before applying the patch. The safest route is to get a good working kernel from a non-patched kernel. Then, start applying patches. > > If anyone experienced the same kind of situation and got over it, please let > me know how it could be resolved. If you need to start over, you can save your configuration by keeping a copy of the .config file in your kernel source directory. > > Thank you! > > Katsuhiro Inoue > > _______________________________________________ > mailing list Lin...@li... > http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux1394-user |

Hello, uhm, it looks like your problems come from using a customized kernel source, a kind of thing sometimes distributors ship. It seems to me that you have a "stripped-down" version of the source code (a Red Hat thing?), comprising only the x86-related code: it's missing the source specific to different architectures (see the "ppc" in your error messages? It stands for PowerPC). I'd suggest to you either to: - download (http://www.kernel.org or your preferred local mirror) and install a "stock" kernel (preferably somewhere else in your path, like /home/inoue/kernel/linux...), then patch, configure and recompile this one. You're done! or: - use the cvs at sourceforge (somewhere at http://linux1394.sourceforge.net): enter your /usr/src/linux/drivers directory as root and login and checkout the ieee1394 development tree. More instructions on site. This will take less time than downloading a whole kernel tarball, in case you've got a slow connection.
