Hi List

I'm trying to compile the latest kernel 2.4.9 for an IBM RS/6000 P44 model 270. When I add support for virtual terminals I get this error: vt.c: In function `vt_ioctl': vt.c:507: `kbd_rate' undeclared (first use in this function) vt.c:507: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once vt.c:507: for each function it appears in.) vt.c:514: `kbd_rate' used prior to declaration vt.c:514: warning: implicit declaration of function `kbd_rate' make[3]: *** [vt.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/drivers/char' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/drivers/char' make[1]: *** [_subdir_char] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

Any ideas?

I had the same problems compiling the 2.4.9 (and also the 2.4.8) on a sparc. The Changelog for the 2.4.10 pre 3 has the following entry: - David Miller, Paul Mackerras: fix up sparc and ppc respectively for kmap/kbd_rate Maybe using this patch solves your problem (I did not try it, I am waiting for 2.4.10). -- Best Regards, Holger Hecht *************************************************** Dipl.-Ing.
