 |
|
Hello!!
I want to compile my kernel with vesafb support. I did | Code: | | make && make modules_install |
and i give some errors 
| Code: | drivers/video/console/fbcon.c: In function `fbcon_switch':
drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:1986: error: `old_info' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:1986: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:1986: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [drivers/video/console/fbcon.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/video/console] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2 |
. Before compiling kernel i have installed vesafb patch from spock's devsite. Version of my kernel is 2.6.12-r10. What should i do??  |

you installed the patch? If you want to use gentoo-sources it comes pre-patched, already. What kernel are you trying to use?

If you are using gentoo-sources, you do not need to manually patch the kernel.
Just start from scratch, emerge gentoo-sources and build your kernel with make menuconfig.

WHen he says start from scratch, he means unmerge gentoo-sources, delete /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/<gentoo-sources> and then remerge it.

You dont need to do either of those things, portage will delete /usr/src/<kernel version> and the symlink, so long as it points where it ought to, can stay
