problems compiling ac-sources 2.4.21-pre7 kernel...

I have a shuttle SN41G2 (nForce2) box, and have been trying to compile the ac-sources 2.4.21-pre7 kernel. It's quitting on the "make dep && make clean..." step with something like:

fs/fs.0(.text+0x1b729): In function 'do_quotactl':
: undefined reference to 'sync_dquots_dev'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

this is after it tries to ld a bunch of *.o files that look like drivers, some kernel.o files, and some lib.a files (really really long ld command). The last line of that command is "-o vmlinux"

This is using gcc 3.2.2

Can anyone help?

thanks,

Tyler

Please do not cross post one issue into multiple threads. You should probably read the forum guidelines. Here is the other thread started which has been locked.

sorry - wasn't quite sure exactly which category my post belonged to...

I am getting the same error during 'make bzImage'. Here's a bit more of the output before the error:

Getting the same error with linux-2.4.21-rc1-ac1. :p

# Temporary Fix #

In config, "File systems"
say Y to Quota support.

That worked - thanks, Mona!

unfortunately, a couple more problems have popped up. networking doesn't seem to work - I recompiled the nvidia drivers (nvnet) v. 1.0256, and the module loads fine, but it breaks on the "Bringing up eth0" part. Not sure what to do there. Also, on restart, it won't restart the computer after the "Remounting all filesystems read only" part - it will just stop there, and I have to manually push the power button. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I will be eternally grateful...

Worked fine for me. Thanks Mona.

Not sure why your network drivers didn't work, tycheung. I copied my original .config over and ran 'make oldconfig' so all my old settings were ported over to the ac-sources build. Worked like a charm. Just needed to re-emerge alsa-driver and nvidia-kernel afterwards.

FYI there was a new ac patch out today so I used ac-sources-2.4.21_rc1-r2.

Ok, that worked (well, after I turned off the Firewire support which was resulting in a kernel panic). So far so good.

On another note, does anyone know why, on shutdown, it won't power down my computer completely? It seems to "half" power down - at least one fan goes off, and there's a "click", but the light's still on, and at least one other fan is still on, and I have to resort to the power button. (this has been happening from the very beginning)

Thanks,

Tyler

This seems to be an issue for anything above (and not including) linux-2.4.21-pre5-ac3, I've just tried the linux-2.4.21-rc1-ac2 and that still has the problem. I suppose I'll stick with my current kernel until this gets fixed.
