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.
