i'm guessing someone's already spotted this but, with "make allyesconfig" on x86:
... LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o: In function `pm3fb_init': drivers/video/pm3fb.c:977: undefined reference to `pm3fb_setup' ... the reason seems to be this excerpt from drivers/video/pm3fb.c: ================================================================ int __init pm3fb_init(void) { /* * For kernel boot options (in 'video=pm3fb:<options>' format) */ #ifndef MODULE <----------------------- char *option = NULL; if (fb_get_options("pm3fb", &option)) return -ENODEV; pm3fb_setup(option); #endif return pci_register_driver(&pm3fb_driver); } static void __exit pm3fb_exit(void) { pci_unregister_driver(&pm3fb_driver); } #ifdef MODULE <------------------------ /* * Setup */ /* * Only necessary if your driver takes special options, * otherwise we fall back on the generic fb_setup(). */ int __init pm3fb_setup(char *options) { /* Parse user speficied options (`video=pm3fb:') */ return 0; } #endif /* MODULE */ ================================================================= so the call to pm3fb_setup() is included if MODULE is *not* defined, but the actual code for that routine is included if MODULE *is* defined. unless i've misread something. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
