Re: Installation Support with kernel 2.2.16-22

[Matteo M. <mat...@ti...>]

    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.

    Greetings, Matteo
