FWIW, 2.6.27-rc7 is out now tho I've not tried it yet. ... And my |
14 |
compiling problem turned out to be due to usage of the KBUILD_OUTPUT var |
15 |
to set the output-dir, as detailed in the makefile. That's certainly a |
16 |
bug since it /is/ documented in the makefile, but at least there's a way |
17 |
around it now. |
18 |
|
19 |
(That said, now that I can compile, there's another bug in actually |
20 |
getting -rc6 to run (again I've not yet tried -rc7), grub loads the |
21 |
kernel or I'd have a grub error (I tried it by pointing grub at a non- |
22 |
existent file), but there's no early console output at all from it and it |
23 |
self-reboots pretty quickly, so the init must be failing pretty early. |
24 |
I'm running radeonfb tho, without vgacon even compiled in. I should try |
25 |
it with the standard vgacon and see if that works.) |
26 |
|
27 |
So anyway, as long as you are compiling into the kernel sources tree |
28 |
itself (or, reports are, setting the output dir from the command line |
29 |
instead of by var), you should avoid the compile problem I had, and |
30 |
hopefully you don't hit whatever other bug it is I'm hitting with -rc6, |
31 |
and hopefully it's fixed for me in -rc7. =:^S |
