Hello there, sometimes things get worse while screwing around ...
I'm using Debian 2.2 which was updated from 2.0 by hand according to the hints in Documentation/Changes. It serves as File/Printserver and Internet-Gateway. - Kernel 2.2.4 is working well, 2.2.17 fails to boot with "VFS: unable to mount root fs" . Maybe someone has a hint, but the worst thing is this: - I tried to install a 100MBit-Card with the RTL8139-chip on it. The source finally compiled, but "insmod rtl8139" results in /lib/modules/2.2.4/net/rtl8139.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister /lib/modules/2.2.4/net/rtl8139.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register Maybe some aditional software isnt't installed ... anyway, it's not possible to compile anything anymore now. Whatever happened in the meantime, the error-message while compiling is: /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h: In function `get_pgd_slow': In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/vmalloc.h:7, from /usr/include/asm/io.h:101, from pci-scan.c:65: /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h:409: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h:409: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h:409: for each function it appears in.) /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h: In function `pte_alloc_kernel': /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h:498: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h: In function `pte_alloc': /usr/include/asm/pgtable.h:516: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/asm/io.h: In function `virt_to_phys': In file included from pci-scan.c:65: /usr/include/asm/io.h:112: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/asm/io.h: In function `phys_to_virt': /usr/include/asm/io.h:117: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/asm/io.h: In function `check_signature': /usr/include/asm/io.h:175: `PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared (first use this function) The files /usr/include/asm/page_offset.h and page.h exist and seem to define PAGE_OFFSET_RAW. I would be very happy if someone told me how to get things to compile again. Chris
