2.2.17 + mtd (current cvs) problems

[Karl Pitrich]

hi.

i took a vanilla 2.2.17, used patchin.sh to apply mtd-2.2.17.patch and
make necessary links.

a) i had to change some #includes, ie. for spinlock.h which is expected
in include/linux but resides in include/asm.

b) i applied yhis patch found on the mailinglist because of compile
error.

include/linux/kmod.h

-#define request_module(x) do {} while(0)
+static inline int request_module(const char *name)
+{
+       return -EINVAL;
+}


c) now, my current 'make zImage' error is as follows. (see below)

recursive grepping for daemonize() yields no match.
as far as i can see, 'thread_sem' is reasonably defined.
any help greatly appreciated.
