Is is possible to compile a kernel for redhat linux to run on an alpha
box on an intel box? I've been trying to do this for some time and
cannot get it to work. Any suggestion?
TIA,
Jarad

But you're not being very informative... What exactly have you been doing?
Like, which compiler do you use, and which problem do you run into?

OTOH, there may be alpha-specific issues, but 32->64 is not
universally broken.

maybe off-topic...
i'm using redhat 7.2 with the standard kernel (2.4.9 ?)
which kernel-sources should i download to have a more-or-less
uptodate version ? will 2.4.20 compile and run on alpha ?
thanks, markus

There's a bug in stxcpy (I think) for Alpha in 2.4.20. Maybe itQuote:> > which kernel-sources should i download to have a more-or-less

1. Kernel 2.4.8 - EMU10K1 - Kernel Compile Breaks in Module main.o
Problem:
Kernel compilation breaks with message
main.o(.modinfo+0x40): multiple definition of `__module_author'
Problem fix:
Delete the /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/emu10k1 tree and copy the tree of
kernel 2.4.7 into 2.4.8. Then it works.
Error Correction:
Please, review the changes made to emu10k1 by Robert Love announced in
Changelog-2.4.8 under "final:"
Configuration file used for kernel compilation:
see attached text file "config.emu10k".
The contents of the config file has not changed since kernel 2.4.5 and worked
for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7.
Error log (make modules):
see attached text file "module_emu10k.txt"
Thanks for your kind attention to this matter.
