Kernel compile error...what am I doing wrong?

Kernel compile error...what am I doing wrong?

Post by W. den Boe » Fri, 23 Jul 1999 04:00:00



Hello everyone,

A few days ago I tried to compile a new (2.3.10) kernel on my P3-500,
when the error

fs/filesystems.a(fat.o): In function 'fat_file_write':
fat.o(.text+0x261e): undefined reference to 'update_vm_cache'.
make: ***[vmlinux] Error 1

showed up.

I was trying to compile the kernel with (v)fat support, because I'd like
to transfer files from/to my fat32 partitions.

After I got this error I tried to compile fat.o as a module (maybe
stupid, but I'm just a newbie), but when I tried to load the module the
same 'update_vm_cache' error showed up.

Since that didn't work either, I downloaded another source (2.3.9), but
it gave me exactly the same error.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Greetings,
W. den Boer

You refer to yourself as a newbie. Why, then, are you trying to install
a hacker kernel? Use one from the stable series. AFAIK, vfat is broken
in the 2.3 series.

remember that 2.x version with x an odd number are experimental kernel. you
should use kernel 2.2.10, which is the last one available (among stable).
