I just tried to compile 1.3.9 and got the following error:
ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o

genhd.c(.text+0x30b): undefined reference to `ide_xlate_1024'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
ide_xlate_1024 is used in genhd.c, but as I have a SCSI only system, I
don't build and include ide.c.
Can I just #ifdef out the call to ide_xlate_1024?
Any hint will be appreciated.
