Just move the +file to corresponding place in the linux bios tree. + + +CHECKING CUSTOM irq_tables.c: + +checkpir.c Will verify the irq_tables.c, currently it only checks the checksum. In case of wrong +checksum, a good value is proposed, so you can edit irq_tables.c manualy and replace checksum. +Run the command like this: + +make test + +Do not run ./checkpir directly because it needs to be linked to irq_table.o first. |
