Problems with dual Opteron and arla-0.36pre29

[Herbert Huber]

I've built arla-0.36pre29 on our dual Opteron system running SLES 8.2
and kernel 2.4.23 with the xfs-patch from SGI, using the Opteron patch
from Harald Barth which can be found at
/afs/stacken.kth.se/ftp/pub/arla/random-patches/opteron-against-0.36pre29.patch

(thanks to Harald for creating this patch!).

Trying to start arla fails with the following error messages:

/usr/arla/bin/nnpfs.o: Possibly is module compiled without
-mcmodel=kernel!
/usr/arla/bin/nnpfs.o: Relocation overflow of type 10 for .data

opteron seems not to support the flag -mcmodel=kernel!

Any ideas?

Regards,

Herbert
