| |
After patching up to 2.6.10-rc2, I get the following error when building the kernel with gcc 2.95:
drivers/scsi/osst.o(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `ST_partstat' drivers/scsi/st.o(.bss+0x0): first defined here make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/built-in.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2
The error occurs because the change from 'typedef struct {...} ST_buffer;' to 'struct st_buffer {...} ST_buffer;' causes storage to be allocated more than once.
The fix is to just remove the 'ST_buffer' part from the changed structure definition.
Here's the patch to drivers/scsi/st.h:
# diff -up *orig/drivers/scsi/st.h *x/drivers/scsi/st.h --- *orig/drivers/scsi/st.h Mon Nov 15 22:44:18 2004 +++ linux-2.6x/drivers/scsi/st.h Tue Nov 16 01:27:19 2004 @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ struct st_partstat { u32 last_block_visited; int drv_block; /* The block where the drive head is */ int drv_file; -} ST_partstat; +};
