| |
I must say this is my first experience with a 2.6 kernel and it is very fast and responsive.
I found that when compiling the 2.6.0-test9 for an athlon64 that the symbol "ip_compute_csum" was not found by several network modules including sk98lin with concerned me in perticular. A quick google search revealed that IA64 had a similar problem in test6 and that ksyms for x86-64 need to export "ip_compute_csum" to fix the problem.
Here's a diff of the change I made.
$ pwd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9/arch/x86_64/kernel
$ diff x8664_ksyms.c x8664_ksyms.c~ 217c217 < EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip_compute_csum); --- >
After making this change I was able to recompile my kernel and it works because I am using my SK9521 to send this email.
