Kernel build dies quickly with updated gcc

[henryz]

Tried to rebuild my 2.6.26.8-rt15 kernel with the new gcc.  It failed as shown below:  Also tried a fresh, new 2.6.31 with the same results.  What am I doing wrong, here?

Thanks.

you did not install "kernel-headers 2.6.30-2"

[henryz]

OK - that gets us over the initial hurdle.  We'll see if we get thru the whole kernel build plus nvidia driver rebuild.

Thanks

Are you using specific RT patches and a custom kernel config or just a custom kernel config?

[henryz]

I typically use Ingo's RT patch set and a custom config (mostly to remove modules and features that I don't need).  I did get 2.6.31-rt11 to build and boot after installing the kernel headers package as suggested by muungwana.  The nvidia video drivers have issues with that particular kernel/RT patch set.  I see that there's a patch on the nvnews forum that's supposed to address that issue and plan to give it a try.  It's all parts of the fun!  (I always make a full system backup with Partimage before venturing into these type of waters...)

How do you guys put together the kernel-headers (former kernel-devel) package?  Do you have a specific list of files that you grab from the full kernel sources.  If I insist on being a contrary rebel and build customer kernels (from full sources) with custom configs, what is the "cleanest" way to handle the "includes" within the current pclos framework?

[henryz]

This patch http://pavlinux.ru/nv/nvidia-190.32-for-2.6.31.patch will allow latest nvidia drivers to be built with the new gcc/2.6.31-rt11.  The patch also works on 190.36 (current beta driver).

Thanks for the information.

You can try this:

Make sure you have the kernel-source package installed for the kernel you wish to rebuild.

rename /usr/include/linux to /usr/include/linux.ORG

symlink /usr/src/linux-2.6.26.8-rt15/include/linux back to /usr/include/linux
