It was actually a build problem - a cassert() in coord.c triggers an odd switch statement error (by design).
Essentially the author is trying to make certain that no new members were added to the coord_t type. At least in my environment, it failed to take into account that structure packing on Alpha is by default different than on x86 machines. I was able to add " __attribute__((packed))" to the end of the coord structure and have it build (and work) fine. I just wasn't sure where to report this, since it was contained in the debian reiser4 patch to the debian 2.6.8 kernel sources. ...tom -----Original Message----- From: Tyson Whitehead [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 3:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Thomas Evans; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: reiser4 kernel patch.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > I was trying out the reiser4 kernel patch and ran in a build-time > assert on my Alpha machine. I compiled stock 2.6.8.1 with the mm4 (Andrew Morton -- includes Reiser 4) patch set. Didn't have any compile time problems. Don't actually try the resulting drivers though, so don't know about runtime. Maybe you want to try that. I also have a vague recollection, from reading newsgroups, about something about needing to having to have the new 8K stacks enabled (or something like that) -- don't know any details. - -T - -- Tyson Whitehead ([EMAIL PROTECTED] -- WSC-) Computer Engineer Dept. of Applied Mathematics, Graduate Student- Applied Mathematics University of Western Ontario, GnuPG Key ID# 0x8A2AB5D8 London, Ontario, Canada -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBQKtNRXbLmIoqtdgRAmtsAKD3eGRX2pSWjZC93s5pzFRxTd2tEQCfd1g7 itfx+vYH4KWT+8AfgEjGdic= =fHHQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
