2.5.62 on Alpha SUCCESS (2.6 release soon!?)

[Oliver Pitzeier]

Hi volks!

I just wanted to tell everybody that 2.5.62 works great for me on Alpha...
Thanks a lot to the alpha kernel developers!!! You did a great job...

OK now, why don't call the next kernel 2.6.0 and release it as soon as possible
:-))) The whole world is awaiting this moment. :-)

Best regards,
Oliver

OK... Make modules_install still has problems:

[***@track linux]# make modules_install
make -rR -f scripts/Makefile.modinst
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/net/8021q; cp net/8021q/8021q.ko
/lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/net/8021q
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/fs/autofs4; cp fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko
/lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/fs/autofs4
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/drivers/net; cp drivers/net/bonding.ko
/lib/modules/2.5.62/kernel/drivers/net
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.5.62; fi

Which versions of binutils and gcc do you have? I get similar
problems with binutils 2.13 and 2.4 kernels.

This is my current env.:
[***@track /root]# rpm -q modutils binutils gcc
modutils-2.4.22-8
binutils-2.12.90.0.7-3
gcc-3.1-6

Maybe I should upgrade gcc? But I believe 3.1 is working fine... At least for my
normally...

Best regards,
Oliver

gcc-3.1-6

I don't know how good/bad this combination of gcc and binutils is for
2.5.x, but modutils 2.4.22 will _not_ work with current 2.5.x. Therefor,
you need the new module-init-tools, available at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules IIRC.

I think that gcc 3.1 should be ok.

I was wondering about modutils b/c you need newer modules-init to load
newer modules into the kernel (the extension is now .ko), but you can't
_compile_ modules, which is different. Sorry I misread the email.

Once you get modules compiled, then you need newer tools:
