Mtk6573 Alcatel 918D Kernel Compilation (Framebuffer Console Driver)

[kenkit]

Hi i've been trying to compile the Alcatel 918D kernel with the framebuffer console driver, but I get this error. Can anyone help, Originally the procedure I followed was for a Samsung mobile which have the same kernel version on XDA. I really need this to enable me to debug errors effectively.

If anyone has a compiled fbcon module please share it so I may test it.

The reason is that just because they may have the same version doesn't mean they are the same. I would check the OEM site of your device to see if they releases the specific kernel for your device.

Actually I only borrowed the procedure, but am using the original 918D kernel which I have compiled without the fbcon driver and tested it on the phone which works just fine.
But a different idea has struck me, I wonder if i used a pre-compiled *.ko from a different phone so long as I use the same kernel version, e.g the Samsung one, should work.
The only problem would be getting someone to compile his and send me.
I tried downloading and compiling the Samusung source but it failed to compile due to some other errors, which am not interested in debugging.
