FWIW, I use make oldconfig, but start with the rcs, so by the time of the |
| 13 |
general new kernel release, I've worked out all the potential issues with |
| 14 |
the new options. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
... Which brings this up. I've yet to be able to successfully compile a |
| 17 |
2.6.27-rc since -rc2 (which compiled but didn't run, not sure if it was |
| 18 |
new options or defective rc). I keep getting errors, having tried every |
| 19 |
one since then. I filed a (kernel.org) kernel bug, but it was closed as |
| 20 |
works for them, the config I posted compiles fine there. They suggested |
| 21 |
my kernel tree was screwed up, but I don't see how that could be because |
| 22 |
(1) I've tried with multiple rcs so it's not just a one-off, and (2) it |
| 23 |
can't be the bunzip2 process screwing up as I'm continuing to do routine |
| 24 |
Gentoo updates with FEATURES=buildpkg, which bzip2s the package then |
| 25 |
bunzip2s it for installation, and if bzip2 was defective, I'd have |
| 26 |
certainly been getting errors there. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So now I'm frustrated, but haven't yet had time to look into it. But my |
| 29 |
days off this week are coming up so hopefully I will. Given that the |
| 30 |
config compiles for others, I'm suspecting it may have to do with |
| 31 |
makeopts and parallel make, since I run -j (unlimited jobs) for the |
| 32 |
kernel make, and get hundreds of jobs going. They moved a bunch of |
| 33 |
header files around for .27 and I'm guessing they don't have the make |
| 34 |
dependencies quite right yet. Once I do a bit more testing I'll reopen |
| 35 |
the bug with the results of a serial make, which I expect to succeed, to |
| 36 |
compare against the parallel make. |
