2.6.test02 fails to compile...riscom8.o

[A. Loonstra]

I've installed a debian woody system with a gnome2.2 backport. Basically
it's a fresh install. I wanted to compile 2.6-test02 and created a
config from config-2.4.18-686-smp config and enabling the 2.6 features
by hand.

When I run make-kpkg kernel-image I fails around riscom8.o. I tried
several settings and downgraded to gcc-2.95, no help.

tail from the make output:

You probably don't want to do this on woody. At least procps and
e2fsprogs are too old. Additionally module-init-tools is not available
(at leaast, not as part of the official distribution).

It *is* a beta kernel, and a fairly early one, at that. It's quite
possible that the driver you're trying to compile is buggy.

Documentation for reporting kernel bugs is available at

It fails to compile a lot of modules, If you do not need them just deselect
them and keep going... then, if you need one of the, bad luck... My
impression is that most of those modules are old stuff you may not need.

I compiled this kernel, and works pretty well in my machine, except for some
bugs with apm/acpi; like they sayd, is a beta version... but let me tell you
this, it is faster!!!, you can notize the difference playing some games like
quake2 or the like... not that I play them oftem, what a waste of time!, I
just do it for benchmarking purposes ;-).

The driver hasn't been ported (still) to new interfaces ;(
