Anyone able to build a kernel for me?

Hitting problems everywhere, so I'll resort to asking the awesome that resides here.
Mainly its for this - http://www.irregular-expression.com/?p=30 - booting Debian natively. I wanted to see if I could build everything then post it here and be all smug, and like "Yeah, I'm awesome", then;
Code:
[email protected]:/home/dan/vision-QMR-2.6.32-g6e170e7# make
CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `include/asm-arm/mach-types.h' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-arm
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC kernel/cpuset.o
kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_can_attach':
kernel/cpuset.c:1333: error: 'task' undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/cpuset.c:1333: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/cpuset.c:1333: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [kernel/cpuset.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2
[email protected]:/home/dan/vision-QMR-2.6.32-g6e170e7#
So, I have no idea now. It took me around an hour to configure this *****, then it does this to me. Although there's probably a quick and easy way that I'm missing.
So any help?
(I also can't chroot it, but it'll be cause I can't mount the ext2 partition with the GingerSense kernel. Either that or I really fail.)
EDIT - I really fail. I typed the mount command wrong...

[Q] Compiling FTDI Kernel Module Fails

To start: Yes, I have searched the forums for similar items. There are no helpful responses. Hopefully this extra info helps.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
OS: Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Supersonic
Kernel Info: 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8
Background: I need to speak with serial devices via the USB port. The specific device I want to send data is an FTDI device. I am successfully communicating with the device via my Linux-based desktop. The challenge is porting my code to Android.
Here we go.
I started here: http://android.serverbox.ch/?p=285
To get the development environment and kernel for my phone I followed this:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_Kernel_from_source
When compiling my kernel I ran into a problem with the environment variables defined in the tutorial. I replaced CCOMPILE with CROSS_COMPILE and pointed it to my Code Sourcery install:
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/LINUX_USER/Hardware/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-eabi-
I updated my kernel configuration (according to the FTDI tutorial) and tried to build the kernel and FTDI kernel module. My first attempt to "make" the kernel didn't work. I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-932190.html
Which provided me with a flag to get make to run:
# make EXTRA_AFLAGS=-mfpu=neon
The FTDI kernel module built successfully and I pushed the module to the SD card and tried to install module:
# /home/LINUX_USER/Hardware/android/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb push drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko /sdcard/
# insmod /sdcard/ftdi_sio.ko
insmod: init_module '/sdcard/ftdi_sio.ko' failed (Exec format error)
Since it didn't work I checked dmesg
# dmesg shows this:
[snip]
<3>[20821.873504] ftdi_sio: version magic '2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g996b70e preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
I validated the kernel version on my phone and looked for a fix:
# uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jul 27 21:34:30 EDT 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux
The following tutorial provided me with instructions on how to address this issue:
http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2214
I changed the subversion number for the kernel by updating .scmversion to contain the following data:
-01509-g8913be8
After recompiling I tried to load the FTDI module again and got the following messages:
# insmod ftdi_sio.ko
insmod: init_module 'ftdi_sio.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
# dmesg | tail -15

Since this failed I tried other compilers as well with the same results.

I need help understanding what I should try next.
Thank you,
cutaway

If you still haven't gotten it running I posted a kernel on the cyanogenmod site with these modules in /system/lib/modules.
Load usbcore.ko, usbserial.ko, then ftdi_sio.ko
Unfortunately I don't have any devices to test, so let me know if it works.

Okay, I tried but it failed for the reason I thought it would. The .scmversion extensions don't match the kernel I have. I am not going to load the whole kernel as I don't want to trouble shoot the whole system or worry about other issues.
I appreciate your effort.
I need somebody to help me understand why I can successfully build a kernel module with my kernel's .config but it does not have the proper symbols to run the module. I would have thought it would fail to compile. /me sighs

You need host mode for this to work, so the main issue is you have to strip out msm_hsusb and gadget code that is built in to the kernel. This means you need a new kernel image for this to work as there is no module to unload.
The kernel I posted earlier will not work because msm_hsusb is still registered on boot, preventing the ehci-hcd module from loading.
You can try this one if you like http://db.tt/0s7xRlYW; I was able to get ehci-hcd to load, but the dmesg output shows an irq problem.
It is the most recent CM7 kernel.

Was you succeded to bring FTDI up and running?

kernel build and "please run 'make mrproper'"

I'm building kernel on Ubuntu 14.04
To build kernel...
1. make mrproper (delete config files..)
2. make menuconfig (create new config files..)
3. mp dev (compile and build kernel)
and, after mp dev
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
Using /root/shield-open-source_1/kernel as source for kernel
/root/shield-open-source_1/kernel is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
in the '/root/shield-open-source_1/kernel' directory.
make[2]: *** [prepare3] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
UPD include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/shield-open-source_1/kernel'
dmake: *** [/root/shield-open-source_1/out/target/product/t210/obj/KERNEL/arch/arm64/boot/Image] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
I changed menuconfig ex) randconfig, defconfig etc...
but this >please run 'make mrproper'< message always appear!
plz help what should I do..

Remove your .config file from your root directory. That's normally what will cause that error. You need a clean unmodified file tree.

Here is a part of my log. I'm building on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I've tried to comment the line in vold.te, but then I have a other errors, more complicated ones, and I think that the mmc_blocl_device is essential for my phone to work correctly. So, if there is anybody who can help me, then please, help me !

Never mind. It works now! I just had to compile on Arch-Linux and to wait a little bit. Right now, I'm running my build!

How did you solve this?
