Having recompiled my Kernel a few times already with success, I now get an error message when doing the make bzImage (after activating some parallel-port-feature):

Code:

b44.c:811: error: syntax error before "b44_interrupt"
b44.c:812: warning: return type defaults to `int'
b44.c: In function `b44_interrupt':
b44.c:846: warning: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void
b44.c: In function `b44_open':
b44.c:1219: warning: passing arg 2 of `request_irq' from incompatible pointer type
make[3]: *** [b44.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25-gentoo-r1/drivers/net'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25-gentoo-r1/drivers/net'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_net] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25-gentoo-r1/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2


Anybody have a quick idea how to fix that or point me into the right direction? Already tried with make mrproper.

Thanks!

head /usr/src/linux-2.4.25-gentoo-r1/drivers/net/b44.c
/* b44.c: Broadcom 4400 device driver.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks as if you are trying to compile this as a module, right?
in "make menuconfig" go to the network drivers, disable Broadcom 4400 and try again; if you need that driver, try to compile it directly into the kernel.

Thats my Idea to fix this issue quickly...

You are right with the Broadcom 4400 causing the problem (disabling it will let me make bzImage), but it's not been compiling as a module, but as (*).

I do need this device, and in "make menuconfig" it shows up as (*), so it should be compiled into the kernel, not as a module, right?

Very strange, the Broadcom network adapter is working with my kerrnel right now, which was compiled from these same sources. How come it gives problems now?

Thanks, Frank
