2 errors compiling the kernal

[tsunam]

and i don't know what i could of turned off to kill one of them the latter being it.

Drivers/char/char.o(text+0x2957): In funtion 'tty_open':
: undefined reference to 'devpts_pty_new'
Drivers/char/char.o(.text+0x7d47): In function ' pty_close':
: undefined reference to 'devpts_pty_kill'
make: *** [vmlinux]error one

apparently i somehow did something to pty, without knowing that i touched anything related to pty in the kernal config.

Any idea/ help would be nice, for now i'm going to try different kernel config stuff looking for something there. Thanks for any help

oh a few more things that might help, its the p3 optimized version, and i'm using makeconfig not the genkernel build.. Still haven't found out the reason for it though..*time to look thru more options*

Dunno this might help... try:

Code: Select all

#cd /usr/src/linux
#cp .config ..
#make mrproper
#cp ../.config .
#make oldconfig
#make dep && make clean [vmlinux / bzImage] modules modules_install

..that's what I do when I get unresolved symbols during a compile.
BTW it's really important that you cp .config out of the .../linux dir - make mrproper will clobber it.

I had the same problem. I've done what boglin told to do, and now it's working!

Thanks
