Yes, both me and linux may be a bit confused ;) - In a the previous thread about the timer error, the ERROR happens ahead of the timer message: ACPI Error (tbfadt-0453): 32/64X address mismatch in "Pm2ControlBlock": [00008800] [0000000000008100], using 64X [20070126] I have checked the ACPI spec from Microsoft,Intel,HP, etc. - and this makes sense. So, the kernel code seem to be wrong. 2. Installed "glib-devel, gtk2-devel" as you pointed out, gave this: [root@localhost 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64]# make gconf scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig drivers/net/Kconfig:1974:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM' drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC' make: *** No rule to make target `gconf'. Stop. 3. Just make, gave this scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h PC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM' drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop. make: *** [prepare0] Error 2 4. Not sure what you meant with "rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec" ? - the SPECS directory is empty, no kernel.spec file exist. 5. as I am not familiar with 'rpmbuild', then I wondered what buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current-...." could be all about. Took a chance, but they break on dependency. I am stuck. //ARNE <hr size=1>Looking for last minute shopping deals? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=51734/*http://tools.search.yahoo.com/newsearch/category.php?category=shopping"> Find them fast with Yahoo!
