Hi!
I'm encountering something that keeps me from using Linux in
my environment. There is a bug in the linux kernel 2.2.18 and
2.4.present kernels that will cause some files not to show up over
NFS mounts from Irix systems. I found my problem is discussed in
detail at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30944
and there is a patch for my problem:
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.2/
BUT! I cannot get the patch to compile with the XFS kernel with
devfs. I thought it would take me an hour or two but have now spent
all day on it. I get though the compile with a vanilla config file
(all defaults) but when linking get the following message:
/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s:1056: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `shl'
/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s:1112: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `shl'
make[1]: *** [entry.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `src/linux-2.4-xfs-r1.0/linux/arch/i386/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
A quick search on google resulted in a couple of anonymous posts that
claim to have this working. Has anyone got this patch working with
the XFS kernel?
I'd love either for a binary RPM (RH 7.1) of the patched
kernel or a working source tree. Can ya help?
