Hi all,
I'm currently running Debian sarge
with:
syner@Zion:~$
apt-show-versions | grep gcc
gcc-3.3/testing uptodate 1:3.3-2
gcc-2.95/testing uptodate 1:2.95.4-17
gcc-3.3-base 1:3.3-3 newer than version in
archive
gcc/testing uptodate 3:3.3-1
libgcc1 1:3.3-3 newer than version in
archive
showing I have gcc3.3 and gcc2.95
installed.
I patched my 2.4.20 kernel source tree
(/usr/src/linux, or /usr/src/linux-2.4.20) with the 2.4.21
patch
by issuing:
gunzip -c | patch -p0
I also did mv linux-2.4.20 linux 2.4.21 , and
pointed the symlink linux to the now-renamed linux-2.4.21..
After make menuconfig, I was aware of the problems
gcc3.3 was having compiling newer 2.4.x kernels.
So, in /usr/src/linux/Makefile, i replaced the 2
instances of gcc with gcc-2.95 .. next i proceeded to do:
make dep && make clean && make
&& make install && make modules && make modules_install
&& depmod -a
Although, I kept getting all these warnings such
as:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include/linux/modules/ide-iops.ver:39: warning:
`__ver_eighty_ninty_three' redefined
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include/linux/modules/ide-features.ver:9: warning:
this is the locations of the previous definition
+ many other similar warnings..
After I let this compile run, I checked / , and saw
that the kernel had not in fact been updated like it was supposed to (before, it
installed it to / for me, then pointed the vmlinuz to the new kernel, and
vmlinuz.old to the old kernel all automatically)...
'
What am I missing here?
Thanks a heap.
