Add videodev PS3 support via Kernel compilation failed

[Elkin Arroyo]

Hi,

I am having some problems while trying to re-compile the Kernel to add
support fot module videodev
My questions are:

Is there any way to compile add modules without re-copmpiling the whole
kernel?
I tried by

# allows me to select the modules I want to add
make xconfig

# On a first attemp I tried to recompiles the whole kernel via
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-9.ydl6.1
make

I got the following error

CC      drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_core.o
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_core.c:9493: internal compiler error:
Segmentation fault

make[3]: *** [drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_core.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/aic7xxx] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

Then I notice the make command was able to compile the videodev.c code. Thus
I tried to create a module via

make modules
make modules_install

This step work just fine. The problem I am facing appears when trying to
load the module

(from dmesg)
videodev: version magic '2.6.23-9.ydl6.1custom SMP mod_unload ' should be
'2.6.23-9.ydl6.1 SMP mod_unload '


BY default when creating a .config using make xconfig, it add word "custom"
I tried by commenting lines
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y

on file /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-9.ydl6.1/.config and calling make modules
again but it still adds suffix custom to the build.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Elkin Arroyo
