Problems compiling 2.0.36 in Avanti
Hi,
I have found problems compiling a 2.0.36 kernel in a Avanti System (AS
250 4/266).
The machine has Debian Slink; I need to keep the 2.0.36 kernel because I
have made changes in kernel (for academic purposes).
The kernel I have tried to compile is without changes still; he is the
original source supplied in Debian Slink. I have made changes in
arch/arch/alpha/Makefile to compile the source (in accordance with archived
alpha-list message of jan 99). Also, I have found problems in compiling modules
(make modules fail) then there is no loadable modules enabled in 'make config'.
The problem is related to TGA console; I don't get succesful compilation
if TGA_CONSOLE is enabled. I get the following message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
selection.h: In function `scr_writew':
In file included from misc.c:47:
selection.h:113: `con_blitc' undeclared (first use in this function)
selection.h:113: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
selection.h:113: for each function it appears in.)
selection.h:114: `con_blitc' used prior to declaration
selection.h:114: warning: implicit declaration of function `con_blitc'
selection.h: In function `memsetw':
selection.h:114: `con_blitc' used prior to declaration
selection.h: In function `memcpyw':
selection.h:114: `con_blitc' used prior to declaration
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If TGA_CONSOLE is not set, the compilation finishes succesfully and MILO
boots the kernel but nothing will be echoed in the screen. I only get a static
cursor in the screen but is possible (blindly) to give commands like in a normal
console.
'dmesg' (with the original kernel) shows:
