Compiling kernel for laptop
I'm at a loss for words due to my own ignorance but I'm not sure what
to do at this point.
I've compiled the 2.6.3 kernel by "make mrproper, make xconfig (saved
.config), make-kpkg --revision=custom1.0 kernel_image modues_image.
The process runs thru w/ a few errors as listed below:
I've retyped the error so syntax may be just a bit off
CC [M] drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c: In funciton 'is alive':
drivers/pcmica/i82365.c:665: warning: 'check_region' is
depreciated (declard at include/linux/ioport.h:121)
these type of errors continue untill it's thru processing the pcmcia
drivers with the words following In function that read 'isa_probe',
'i365_set_io_map', tcic_set_io_map'.
Now furthere down I see other /drivers/pcmcia/i82092.ko compile with no
errors. Again, I have no idea why this is occuring.
When the compiler reaches the "Linux PCMCIA Configuration Script" I get
this:
** Your kernel is configured with PCMCIA driver support.
Therefore
** 'make all' will compile the PCMCIA utilities but not
the drivers.
** See README-2.4 if this is not what you intended
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DEBIAN USERS
This means that a pcmcia-modules package will not be built.
Obviously this is a problem for me being that I'm running a laptop can
you please advise.
