Hi. I'm trying to compile a vanila kernel (linux-2.6.11.12) on FC4. Unfortunately an error stops the compilation: ---- make[3]: *** [drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [drivers/i2c/algos] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/i2c] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 ---- As I encountered a similar error with the last mm kernel and 2.6.12 rc, I guess I'm doing something wrong. So I have few questions: - Is the kernel that comes with the distribution compiled with GCC-4.0? BTW: Is there a way to get the compiler version from the binary - maybe something like 'uname -a', 'file', 'type'? - I'm getting errors even if I try to use gcc32 (GCC-3.2) - is there a problem with a kernel or is it my faoult ;)? BTW: I used gcc32 by changing the top directory Makefile - is this the 'correct' aproach? Is there a simpler way to do it? - How can I install the source of the kernel that comes with the distro? I'm used to Debian where I can just use 'apt-get install kernel-source'. 'yum search kernel-source' didn't return a package matching the kernel source. BTW: I need to compile an vanila kernel as I'm going to develop a kernel module ... heh ... of course the first step is the compilation of the vanila ;) Thanks and best regards, Dezo
