anyone else having problems getting the ipw2200 driver to load? Tried both the in-kernel one and the portage driver but keep getting this error

Ok, fixed this, was my own fault, silly me forgot to mount /boot before installing the kernel :roll:

With my former kernel, splashutils 1.1.9.10-rc1 (amd64) worked flawlessly with reiser4-gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7.

Now with the new no-sources-2.6.18-rc5-r1, splashutils just won't install, it says that MAX_NR_CONSOLES (63 should be) is not set in kernel.c .
I tried to ellaborate a patch for this, and to add a #define right there at the beginning of kernel.c
Then what? render.c gives me a whole lotta errors about redefined structures and so, which are from
unistd.h, stdio.h etc. :roll:
:idea:
So I make another patch to comment out some of those includes from render.c, stdio.h, unistd.h and linux/fb.h (framebuffer).
Then these errors go away, but another error appears, .. "CONFIG_TTY_NR_CONSOLES" (or something like that)..
So I add that too, in a define with value 63, to kernel.c.
And then, more and more errors.. Seems like I can't get it to work.


:!: :!:

NOTE: This situation happened just alike using splashutils 1.1.9.10-rc1 amd64 from portage, 1.1.9.8-rc1 amd64 from splashutils-overlay from no-sources site and 1.1.9.10-rc1 ~amd64 from the same splashutils-overlay.

My friend, please make sure http://no.oldos.org/files/2.6.18-rc4-no2/broken-out/config-nr-tty-devices-r3.patch, is the patch applied, I think eremini used that one, but I'm not sure, that one should work with splashutils and if not, I'll fix it.

Other problems: Please wait for my release :)

Thanks for replying cheater.

I tried the patch you gave me, but it turns out all of those three files were already patched with it, I checked manually too. One last thing I did was to update linux-headers from 2.6.16 to 2.6.17, but seems like this didn't help either.
I also tried to recompile klibc-1.2.1-r2, but in vain. Splashutils 'finishes' compiling with the same error.

Any other thoughts or should I wait for the new 2.6.18-rc5-no2 ?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

This patch fixed that issue for an earlier version of -emission:

http://distfiles.evolution-mission.org/emission-sources/splashutils_nr_tty_devices_fix.patch

Not sure as to how well it will work with config-nr-tty-devices patch.

So I'll get into the whack of releasing no-sources again shortly.

Good to hear you're back in the seat. :D

I placed the patch in config-nr-tty-devices-r2, I revised the -r3 version and placed an include instead assuming it would fix it.

I'll take a look later, that is definitely the dirty way of fixing things.

In all honesty though, splashutils is what should be fixed for 2.6.18 kernels, but it won't happen because 2.6.18 is not stable yet.

Sorry to see you go.

Cheater: I've updated the BadRAM patch to mm2, is there any chance of getting this included in the next no-sources? I'm willing to port it to future releases.

Sure, but I am not using 2.6.18-rc5,6, or 7. Actually, I'm not using any of them so I wouldn't know, but in -mm the include/linux/tty.h stuff was moved to vt.h with a new patch, so it is splashutils at fault for it not building, rather than the kernel's fault.

Non the less, I'll fix my patch if I confirm it not working.

I will definitely look at it for inclusion in the next release ;)
