Compiling against 2.6.18-rc6-mm[12] ?

Gregoire.Favre · 09-12-06, 07:12 AM

Hello,

is someone able to compil against the two latest mm kernels ?

Thank

Nope. I've got the same trouble. Seems like the i2c stuffed changed in the prepatch kernel, see the following diff:

Code:

root@emperor:/usr/src# diff linux-2.6.18-rc6/include/linux/i2c.h linux-2.6.18-rc6-mm2/include/linux/i2c.h
67,74d66
< /*
<  * Some adapter types (i.e. PCF 8584 based ones) may support slave behaviuor.
<  * This is not tested/implemented yet and will change in the future.
<  */
< extern int i2c_slave_send(struct i2c_client *,char*,int);
< extern int i2c_slave_recv(struct i2c_client *,char*,int);
<
<
204,207d195
<       /* --- these optional/future use for some adapter types.*/
<       int (*slave_send)(struct i2c_adapter *,char*,int);
<       int (*slave_recv)(struct i2c_adapter *,char*,int);
<
223c211
<       struct i2c_algorithm *algo;/* the algorithm to access the bus   */
---
>       const struct i2c_algorithm *algo; /* the algorithm to access the bus */

The trouble is that exactly the mm2 kernel does work with the JMicron SATA controllor on my brand new Asus P5N. If I use the xorg nv driver instead of the nvidia, I'll get "(II) NV(0): Mode "1600x1200" is larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1280 x 1024. Removing."

So I can either:

use my DVD Rom (2.6.18-rc6-mm2 with xorg.nv) or
work in 1600x1200 (2.6.18-rc6 with NVIDIA)
but not both at the same time.

Who should change here: nvidia or the kernel?

What does the build failure look like, exactly? Please attach the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file.

there are support in earlier rc/mm-kernels for this controller. try rc-4-mmX.
It's a nice m/b though

@zander: I've uploaded nvidia-installer.log as attachment to this post. HW is a Asus P5B board with a Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB RAM, the lspci output for the graphics card is

sorry for the double post.

@darthvader42: thanks, I'll take a look.

@sheuer3012: you can fix the problem by deleting lines 26 and 27 from the file usr/src/nv/nv-i2c.c.

Gregoire.Favre · 09-19-06, 05:19 AM

@zander (and others): an hudge thank from 2.6.18-rc7-mm1 !!!
I didn't have time to try 2.6.18-rc6-mm[12] but it's perfect under the last mm kernel :-)

martyj19 · 09-20-06, 02:50 PM

Released 2.6.18 came out this morning. FYI, I have been able to build without needing any patch against the released kernel. I guess they undid whatever broke.
