Hi all, Thanks for the replies to my kernel compile problem but it seems that checking the task file option/s off in menuconfig hasn't averted the error. Undre ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support, submenu IDE/ATA and ATAPI block devices, I checked the options to include "IDE Taskfile Access" on the first try, no luck, second try both "IDE Taskfile Access" and "Taskfile IOCTL Debugging"...still no luck. The same errors are occuring. I even started from scratch by removing the source folder and unzipping fresh from the linux-2.4.12.tar.bz2 file. Any other suggestions? ...besides "don't bother cuz obviously you don't know what you're doing" :) Thanks Mark Doucette On Tue, 16 October 2001, Philipp Thomas wrote:

There is a mystery option in menuconfig, something to do with ide task file or something similar. This only appears in the Suse'fied version not in the vanilla. If you tick it then it will compile.
Yes, it's the ide taskfile access. This allows to send the disk vendor specific commands. This is part of Andre Hedricks (you do know that name, don't you?) IDE patch we integrate.
As to whether it produces a usable kernel I don't think it does yet. But I guess it is work in progress...
It is a usable kernel, believe me.

I wouldn't dream of saying that :) I do not have any other suggestions, obviously my combination of kernel options will not be the same as yours - so maybe I just hit lucky. You are welcome to have a look at my .config file, if you want it I will post it to you off-list. -- Regards Cliff
