Re: [Fwd: Re: Uhhuh.. 2.4.12]

FWIW, I did a cvsup of my xfs kernel tree from ftp.thebarn.com this
morning and then succesfully applied

  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/patch-2.4.12.bz2

The only hunk which failed was the patch to the top level
Makefile. I edited linux/Makefile:

  VERSION = 2
  PATCHLEVEL = 4
  SUBLEVEL = 12
  EXTRAVERSION =-xfs

and built a kernel with no problems. This is a debian system.

There is a compilation bug in 2.4.12, which involves
linux/drivers/parport/ieee1284_ops.c. If that file fails to compile
then

  s/EEE1284_PH_DIR_UNKNOWN/IEEE1284_PH_ECP_DIR_UNKNOWN/

(2 places).
