2.1.126pre1 and pre2 both remove the following line from
pc_keyb.c:
unsigned char pckbd_read_mask = KBD_STAT_OBF; /* Modified by psaux.c */
As I usually use a ps/2 mouse, 2.1.126pre1 and 2 fail to compile
at all - the final link fails with:
kernel/kernel.o(__ksymtab+0x7d8): undefined reference to `pckbd_read_mask'
Is it simply a matter of changing:
extern unsigned char aux_device_present, pckbd_read_mask;
to
extern unsigned char aux_device_present;
in kernel/ksyms.c?
I've already sent off a note about this to Johan Myreen, the
person who appeared to have made the changes to pc_keyb.c. I didn't CC
linux-kernel as I though the problem might be that only part of Johan's
patch made it into 2.1.126pre[12]; I wanted to wait for the next one from
Linus.
Cheers,
