Kernel 3.6 compilation error with module udlfb #7

Closed sdxbzh closed 11 years ago

sdxbzh commented 11 years ago

I'm using branch am33x-v3.6 to try to compile a kernel 3.6.0-rc6 for beaglebone.

I wanted to add the DisplayLink fb driver (udlfb.ko), but this leads to a build error.

The problem is not related to beagle or linux-dev, but only to ARM kernel sources that didn't export some symbol used in various drivers.. I had to apply the following patch to make it work.

Definitely, this is a kernel issue, but you can add this patch in the meantime.

Hope this helps.

BTW, great work !

Thanks for finding that one.. It had to disable that module on the Beagle/Panda kernel too, so this patch will help big time.. Wonder why it hasn't made it upstream..

Fixed with: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev/commit/2c416a0a958ca22978f3391890bafd662501fb05

BTW, we now get to a login prompt! Still lots of problems in dmesg, but those can be fixed now. ;)

Regards,
