Re: [ACPI-sppt] make modules_install failure

Suppressing the PCI Hotplug won't change a thing, except that the error about ibmphp is not there.

I still get the same text output. I wonder if it's a normal text output or not...

I thought that disabling PCMCIA support (I don't have a card) would get a result because "pcmcia" is in the text. Well, it does not seem to do a thing.
Merci de votre temps,

  'make oldconfig' should be faster.

  first of all: do you really use PCI hotplug? i doubt that in a laptop.
  so you have the following possibilites:

  - just ignore the error (unless you use make-kpkg from debian).
  - remove /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/hotplug/ibmphp.o
  - configure the kernel without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_IBM and
    recompile/reinstall

  anyway, this looks like a bug in ibmphp.c, you could bother the
  maintainer.

  cheers,
