Apparently the current GIT kernel is broken:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/25/127
Code:
> >   LD      init/built-in.o
> >   LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
> > arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `machine_crash_shutdown':
> > (.text+0x191c8): undefined reference to `genapic'
> > make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1


I got exactly that error when compiling.
git clone date: 2007-11-12 18:37

+ i cant even get the latest patches from linux-2.6 (linus) anymore.

Code:
$ git pull ../linux-2.6

Using the patch from the post referenced at the link you gave I decided the easiest option was to just edit arch/x86/kernel/crash.c and change every line that said

#ifdef X86_32
to
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32

There should be 3 of them to fix.

Automated patching tools are great for big patches but for small ones it is often easier to just read the diff and make the change manually.

Could we just follow the newer code & update to 2.6.24-rc2?

Not easily. Rt2x00 has to follow wireless-2.6 and even updating to the latest version of that is a reasonable amount of work for Ivo.

Well actually I did merge the tree, but forgot to push it to the server. ;)
