[SOLVED] RTAI patched kernel compiling irq error

[flam]

Hello,

I've a problem with compiling an patched kernel. I patched the kernel 2.6.31.8 with rtai-3.8. To patch the kernel is no problem. But even I try to compile the kernel I get this message:

arch/x86/kernel/ipipe.c: In function ‘__ipipe_syscall_root’:
arch/x86/kernel/ipipe.c:852: warning: left shift count >= width of type

make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/ipipe.o] Fehler 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Fehler 2

Could it be a problem of the properties that I use in the menuconfig?

Hi,

I got the "per_cpu__irq_stack_union" undeclared error, too. I was able to avoid it by disabling CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR in kernel config ("Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection" under "Processor type and features").

And I also had to set the following:
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=n
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n

Don't know about the "irq_desc" symbol, though. I didn't got this error.

regards
elh

Hello elh,

Thank you for your help. Now it works.

I'm also found this Instruction:
Compile custom kernel (Linux 2.6.31. patched with RTAI (latest CVS version – vulcano) for Ubuntu (9.10) (For me its not allowed to post url's, but I think with this title it should be possible to find the manual)

It explains how to install the newest RTAI with Ubuntu 9.10. But thats the same solution like the solution of elh. Only a little bit more detailt.


Regards,
Franz
