Need your help. I was compiling the 2.6.7 kernel for my Compulab Armcore board. After getting the kernel source from kernel.org, i patched with the patch i obtained from the compulab website. The building process was almost over until i encounter the following problem:
Code:
<--snip-->
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x4351c)
It just stops there for hours. May i know what happen? Please help.
Seems like a linker problem, but I´m not an expert.
Maybe you try compiling without the patch or try a newer kernel or try another gcc version.
Did the patch apply without any error messages ?
Good luck
Linker problem? Hmm...how can i fix that?
I tried compiling without the patch and it works fine. The problem is i need to configure my board based on the manufacturer specs. Thats the reason why i need to patch. I patched without any error.
Probably i try with another gcc version....but do u think it's caused by that?
Since i can compile well without the patch, it should compile for with a patch too.
Maybe you should take a close look regarding your kernel configuration.
Does the patch apply (or replace) any functions the kernel already provides, e.g. like bootlogo/bootsplash in x86 kernels ? you cannot select both options or compilation fails.
Is there a readme supplied with the patch explaining what it does ?
Which part of the kernel relates to: drivers/built-in.o ?
Try to compile without that driver or whatever it is, or try as a module or compile as built-in.
