Hi there,
I have a newish AMD64 machine. NForce4 chipset. Asus A8N-E
motherboard. PCI-Express 16x graphics, etc. No matter what I try I've
been constantly stopped from building a 2.6.13 kernel with Ingo's rt14
patch.
Here's the error message:

The 2.6.13 kernel builds fine before I apply the patch but fails afterward.
I do not find the error message
undefined reference to `tsc_c3_compensate'
in Google so maybe it's just me and my kernel config. I've attached
the config file zipped. I've tried some obvious stuff like completely
disabling ACPI, etc., but I haven't found anything that works yet.
Thanks in advance for any ideas. This has held up my new AMD64 machine
being useful for a few weeks now.
I'm spotting a very similar message when building 2.6.13.x-rt14, but as
a module linkage warning, not a fatal build error.
Maybe that's because I try to configure _everything_ I can as a module,
not as built-in. As this has been just a warning on the module install
phase I got along and all seems to boot and run fine -- except for some
acpi stuff e.g. I've lost thermal zone sensor on my laptop, but that
didn't look like a big deal.
Yep, that's it... I found the exact messages in my attic, although from
an erlier build:
WARNING:
/lib/modules/2.6.13.1-rt13.0mdk/kernel/drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.ko
needs unknown symbol do_monotonic_clock
WARNING:
/lib/modules/2.6.13.1-rt13.0mdk/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko needs
unknown symbol tsc_c3_compensate
How about reporting to Ingo and/or the lkml? As you can see its not an
AMD64 issue, because I don't have such a beast here.
Bye.
