kernel compile errors after applying supermount patch

[bdika]

Hi:

I tried to apply the supermount patch (it seemed to apply) but then my kernel would not compile. So I tried to remove the patch and now my kernel still will not compile after it gets to the following point:

quote
CC drivers/base/topology.o
LD drivers/base/built-in.o
CC drivers/block/floppy.o
LD drivers/block/built-in.o
CC drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c: In function `cdrom_open':
drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:1007: error: too few arguments to function `open_for_data'
make[2]: *** [drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/cdrom] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
quote

and then exits to the shell prompt.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this so that I can compile my kernel again? I'm a gentoo and kernel noob.

Secondly, is there a recommeded patch for supermount. I tried 2 different patches. Then my kernel wouldn't compile. I tried to remove the patches by answering yes to the question

quote
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] y
quote

But now I get the above drivers errors and so cannot compile my kernel at all.

I'd like to stick with gentoo, so any help would be much appreciated

Hello,

To get the kernel back to it's original state, emerge the kernel sources package again and the patch will be undone. Then:

Thanks guys. My kernel is back to normal. I'll try searching the forums to see if I can find some simple instructions.
