[Xen-users] unable to compile megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.16 against linux-2.6.18.8

[Alexander Hoßdorf <xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am unable to compile the megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.16 driver against the 
2.6.18.8 kernel sources.
I don't think it's 100% xen related, but I use 2.6.18.8 kernel sources 
for xen
and I have to compile a new version of megaraid_sas against it.

compiler is gcc-4.1 from debian etch.

the version of megaraid_sas included with the 2.6.18.8 sources is 
v00.00.03.01.
it compiles without any problems.


but when I compile v00.00.03.16 against 2.6.18.8 or 2.6.18.8-xen0
the following happens:

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

compiling the same module with 2.6.24 sources from kernel.org
the result is a working module:

--------------------------------------

katze4unix:/# make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24/build

--------------------------------------

does anyone of you know how to get a working megaraid_sas module 
v.00.00.03.16 or higher,
with xen-2.6.18.8 sources?

thanks for your help.
