Greetings,
Freshly pulled 2.6.23.git failed to build:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s'.  Stop.

make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

You are the only reporter of this bug.

I do not see it here and I have the asm-offset.c file.
Have you figured out more about this bug?

For now I assume you did something bad when you updated your kernel tree.

Could  you as minimum check the content of the arch/x86/kernel/ directory.
Thanks,

	Sam

I just re-pulled, and the little bugger showed up.  Elves and Gremlins

at play I guess.

I also saw this behaiour, but make mrproper solved the problem.

Pulled 2.6.23 tree and did a build

Added latest -linus on top of it.

Did a new build (x86_64).
As expected it failed due to wrong asm symlink but nothing

like the error Mike posted.

So I'm a bit puzzeled here.
I anyone can explain how to reproduce it I will chase it

but otherwise it will be left as a "consequence of

the x86 merge".

What I did was to pull, then diff against my working tree (/me=SCM

weenie;) for review as usual, and then apply that diff to working tree

and make oldconfig as usual.  That left me with the same failure this

morning, despite the file being verified present in the git tree.  I

then used git-archive --format=tar | (cd work_tree;tar -xvf -).  That

spewed chunks when I tried to build it even though diff said the trees

were identical.  After make mrproper and restoring my saved .config, all

was peachy.
Methinks dontdiff bit me.

After a quick look:

[sam@neptun x86.git]$ find -name '*.i'

./include/asm-x86/alternative-asm_64.i

./include/asm-x86/alternative-asm_32.i

./include/asm-x86/frame.i

./include/asm-x86/alternative-asm.i

./include/asm-um/frame.i

./include/asm-um/alternative-asm.i

[sam@neptun x86.git]$ grep '*.i' Documentation/dontdiff

*.i
But I cannot see how this could result in the bug you

reported..

Anyway at least one dontdiff buglet - or we should preferably

drop the .i files in the kernel src.

I have a patch from Adrian staged to do this.
