The build fails at the link stage with the following output: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 arch/i386/mach-generic/built-in.o(.text+0x1f0): In function `acpi_madt_oem_check': include2/asm/mach-summit/mach_mpparse.h:49: undefined reference to `usb_early_handoff' arch/i386/mach-generic/built-in.o(.text+0x2c0): In function `mps_oem_check': include2/asm/mach-summit/mach_mpparse.h:35: undefined reference to `usb_early_handoff' make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 make: *** [_all] Error 2 I did a "make clean" and rebuilt but the error remained. The kernel successfully built on the other two machines I've tried so I figure that the .config file is implicated and it's attached. 2.6.14-rc2 built and installed OK on the same machine with a .config file that is identical except for any changes caused by additional configuration options added with the -mm1 patch.
