I just tested the PKGBUILD again on an i686 box without problems. Please do the following and see if you get any errors.
1. Download the kernel26-pf tarball, untar and run makepkg
2. At the '==> Run make menuconfig before build? (y/N)' prompt press CTRL-C
3. cd into src/linux-2.6.37 and run 'make menuconfig', check the processor option and exit menuconfig
My output is the following:

What happens if you run 'sudo make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux-2.6.38-ARCH?

I'm on i686 and i'm using makepkg. Of course, i answer "y" when asked to run menuconfig. The problem is that "Processor type and features ---> Processor family" is "locked", i can't enter the submenu...
It's the same if choose localmodconfig, vanilla or current kernel config. I also noticed that other options are locked.

Cape: It's not normal. I assume you follow "Processor type and features ---> Processor family", right? Can you be more specific? (i686 or x86_64? makepkg or yaourt/clyde? etc)
I also assume of course that you answer 'y' to "==> Run make menuconfig before build? (y/N)"
Cape commented on 2011-03-16 20:19 (UTC)
Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but i'm not able to choose my cpu family in menuconfig.
It's the same if i choose locamodconfig, running kernel or stock... I just can't edit that entry. Is it normal?

Thank you Christos. I will try the prebuild version from your repo first. :-)

litemotiv: that option is for users that already have a tailored kernel for their systems and don't want to compile the entire kernel tree. Using that option entails manual configuring of the uncovered options the pf-patchset provides, i.e. what you were asked and it's normal. Had you answered 'yes' to 'make menuconfig' question before, you'd be directed to the more user-friendly menu configuration. If you used that option on, say, the stock -ARCH kernel you'd have no gain whatsoever, since that's a generic kernel. You'd have to deselect the unneeded options/modules one by one, but that's usually a one-time chore. Google for 'kernel configure' for more.
As for the compilation error, I haven't bumped into it, ever. I compile 6 i686 and 5 x86_64 pf-kernels for my unofficial repo and I've never seen that error. What's worse, that's an assembler error and I hate x86 assembly. Have you tried a clean compile? A different binutils version?
<deleted-account> commented on 2011-03-14 17:24 (UTC)
Thanks for this, nice installer too. :-)
Two questions:
I chose the current-running-kernel config option, this then gave a lot of the PF-specific options a default value of No (example: BFQ [N/y/m/]). Is this fixable, or is it just the way it works?
Secondly, i'm getting a compilation error:
AS arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:1531: Error: .size expression does not evaluate to a constant
Is this just a temporary source problem that i have to wait a bit for to get fixed?
Thanks again,
-lite

Official binary builds for various x86_64 ISA levels are available here.
