compiling 2.4.0-test5 -pmu errors

[Peter R. Wood]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile 2.4.0-test5 using the kernel.org sources, and all
compilation seems to go well, up until it tries to link together vmlinux:

arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o: In function `pmac_set_rtc_time':
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x8f48): undefined reference to
`pmu_request'
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x8f48): relocation truncated to
fit: R_PPC_REL24 pmu_request
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x8f58): undefined reference to `pmu_poll'
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x8f58): relocation truncated to
fit: R_PPC_REL24 pmu_poll
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I thought perhaps this meant I should include the PMU adb driver, which
seems silly, since I am using a SuperMac J700, and the PMU is a powerbook
driver... but I went and configured that in, recompiled, and the kernel
linked just fine. However, it hangs on boot.  Why is this required to
compile?  I suppose the hang on boot could be due to some other issue. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter
