Please allow me to repeat myself and add some more (relative?) info: I am having difficulty compiling kernel v. 2.0.27. I was/am using a precompiled kernel which is also v. 2.0.27. I am using Binutils v. 2.7.0.3, which is the version listed as current in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes I am using GCC v. 2.7.2.1
Here is the output from make: ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000fffe0 nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$\)\|\( a \)' | sort > System.map make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27-2/arch/i386/boot' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27-2/arch/i386/boot/compressed' ./xtract /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27-2/vmlinux | gzip -9 | ./piggyback > piggy.o Non-GCC header of 'system' Compressed size 20. ld -qmagic -Ttext 0xfe0 -o vmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000fe0 misc.o: In function `fill_inbuf': misc.o(.text+0x1ebc): undefined reference to `input_data' misc.o(.text+0x1ec1): undefined reference to `input_len' misc.o(.text+0x1ed7): undefined reference to `input_data' make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27-2/arch/i386/boot/compressed' make[1]: *** [compressed/vmlinux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27-2/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [zImage] Error 2 Any insights into the cause or solution to this problem are greatly appreciated. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
