1.) First of all - still unresolved symbols (extremely modularized kernel
with all possible options included, _ALL_ features which could be made
into modules are - IDE, floppy, SCSI stuff are fully modularized too):
=== Cut ===
/lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/hisax.o: unresolved symbol(s)
amd7930_get_irqnum
amd7930_bxmit
amd7930_bopen
amd7930_bclose
amd7930_liu_activate
amd7930_brecv
amd7930_get_liu_state
amd7930_dxmit
amd7930_liu_init
amd7930_liu_deactivate
amd7930_drecv
/lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/cls_u32.o: unresolved symbol(s)
tcf_police_dump
tcf_police
tcf_police_destroy
tcf_police_locate
/lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/cls_rsvp6.o: unresolved symbol(s)
tcf_police_dump
tcf_police
tcf_police_destroy
tcf_police_locate
/lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/cls_rsvp.o: unresolved symbol(s)
tcf_police_dump
tcf_police
tcf_police_destroy
tcf_police_locate
/lib/modules/2.1.99/misc/af_packet.o: unresolved symbol(s)
br_ioctl
/lib/modules/2.1.99/net/wanpipe.o: unresolved symbol(s)
register_wandev
wan_encapsulate
wan_type_trans
unregister_wandev
=== Cut ===
2.) "do_change_root: old root has d_count=1" still here when using initrd (I
definitely have to - the kernel is intended for the second release of my
distribution, KSI Linux, so I dunno in advance what should a kernel
feature set look like).
3.) xd still doesn't compile...
4.) znet.c being compiled into kernel (not modularized so far) does cause
kernel to Oops in znet_init (no card present).
5.) "make -j modules" still impossible - ncr53c8xx and 53c7,8xx won't
compile. The problem is that when their *.c do reference their SCSI
scripts, the latter is not built yet... "make -j bzImage" works fine.
6.) Under a heavy load (e.g. several "make -j"'s) system swaps itself to
a crawling death. When one of those "make -j"'s failed with "virtual
memory exhausted" system becomes almost unuseable - any of single
"make -j"'s that did work like a charm before fails, system is almost
unresponsive (top doesn't work, a keypress gets more than a minute to
get displayed back etc.) Garbage collection doesn't work, reboot seems
to be the only cure...
7.) IDE does finally seems to work :))
If somebody cares: my machine is QDI Commander IV with 2xPPro-200, 128M RAM,
2 SCSI controllers (BusLogic BT-958 with HP HDD, ZIP, Pioneer CDROM and
Symbios NCR53C810A with single Yamaha CDR-102). One IDE HDD is inserted into
mobile rack specially for experimenting with IDE. It's Quantum Fireball
ST3.2A if it does matter.
Hope this helps...
