Hi there to everyone

when rt-sources-2.6.16-r29 are installed, the merge of splashutils-1.1.9.10-r1 fails, complaining about an error in input.h the fix is quite easy (credits: http://www.helpfeeds.com/showthread.php?p=1139679):

You can try to fix it manually by moving the line "#ifdef __KERNEL__" from somewhere (about line 839) right above the In-kernel definitions to a position before the declaration of struct input_device_id (about line 799) in the file usr/src/linux/include/linux/input.h from the kernel source tree.

Beside Note: This seems to be fixed in 2.6.17

Here there should be a patch:

I tested it and now the merge of splashutils works.

I was trying that on my 2006.1 install yesterday. The problem I get is at
the kernel compilation failed early with this modification. So I set the
file in its original state and it compiled without problem. Have you try to
compile a kernel?

I have not applied the patch but only modified input.h by hand. Maybe at it
is something more in the patch.

I get one more problem with it. I have done a first kernel without bootsplah
and this one work fine. After that, I reinstalled the rt-sources with
fbsplash and vesafb-tng. As gensplash was not installed on the system, it
was necessary to modify input.h and run a make modules-prepare in the
kernel tree. It did it fine. But I get an error when compiling the kernel,
so I reversed the modification in input.h. Now, I get an error at boot time
with this kernel about a wrong module format or something like that. It
appear to early in the boot process and I don't find this error in my log
files.

It is very strange because I have exactly the same kernel in my old install,
and it work like a charm. I want to unmerge rt-sources as well as the
lib/modules directory and remerge rt-sources and do a fresh kernel compil
with it. But I am busy with something else just now.

Ciao,

Did you read this?

Yes, and comment 23 say at the patch must be reversed in order to compile the
kernel.

Dominique

so what should we do now?
shall I remove the patch?
Does 2.6.17 solves your problems?
