It's finding your BIOS doesn't seem to have the timer wiring listed in
the tables. That makes Linux a little confused 8)

rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec

glib-devel, gtk2-devel ..

======================================================================

1. Yes, both me and linux may be a bit confused ;)
- In a the previous thread about the timer error, the ERROR happens ahead of
the timer message:

ACPI Error (tbfadt-0453): 32/64X address mismatch in "Pm2ControlBlock": [00008800] [0000000000008100], using 64X [20070126]

I have checked the ACPI spec from Microsoft,Intel,HP, etc. - and this makes
sense. So, the kernel code seem to be wrong. 


2. Installed "glib-devel, gtk2-devel" as you pointed out, gave this:
[root at localhost 2.6.23.9-85.fc8-x86_64]# make gconf
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
drivers/net/Kconfig:1974:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM'
drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC'
make: *** No rule to make target `gconf'.  Stop.

3. Just make, gave this

scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
PC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM'
drivers/net/Kconfig:1975:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'FEC_MPC52xx' refers to undefined symbol 'PPC_BESTCOMM_FEC'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'.  Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2


4. Not sure what you meant with "rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec" ?
- the SPECS directory is empty, no kernel.spec file exist.

5. as I am not familiar with 'rpmbuild', then I wondered what buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current-...." could be all about. Took a chance, but
they break on dependency. 

I am stuck.
