If one compiles 2.4.21-pre5 without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI the compilation fails with undefined ide_setup_dma(). And indeed, ide_setup_dma is called in ide_hwif_setup_dma in setup-pci.c. One of the ways to make the kernel compile with this config is --- ../../linux-2.4.21-pre5/linux/include/linux/ide.h Tue Mar 4 02:25:12 2003 +++ linux/include/linux/ide.h Tue Mar 4 11:07:32 2003 @@ -1719,6 +1719,7 @@ extern int __ide_dma_lostirq(ide_drive_t *); extern int __ide_dma_timeout(ide_drive_t *); #else +static inline void ide_setup_dma(ide_hwif_t *x, unsigned long y, unsigned int z) {;} static inline void ide_release_dma(ide_hwif_t *x) {;} #endif Andries [much larger changes might be appropriate] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
