@eimfach this might help https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/Kconfig?h=v5.15.140#n2911

You will need a recent binutils (2.22 or later) with elf32_x86_64 support enabled to compile a kernel with this option set

@zcobol
Thanks, I think I don't even need this option I just want to be able to mount my SD Cards with ext4 via USBIPD-WIN (wsl --mount does not work see this). I am following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyBfQXmyH4o

As I understand it I just reuse the currenct kernel config and just set the option for "USB Mass Storage" and that's it.

Greetings,

I have a similar problem to this. Has this been resolved?

[WikiLiu]

no influence about this remind. So just let it go

I am following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyBfQXmyH4o

I am having the exact same problem when following this youtube. How many issues do I need to resolve before I can use USB via WSL.

edit: I set the CONFIG_X86_32 = Y to N in the .config file then make again the warning is gone. But it won't be able to use 32bit bin with this kernel.

Do you use Windows 10 or 11 ?

[upsangel]

Win11 with Ubuntu wsl （no version flag) update: I delete the no flag Ubuntu and install fresh the Ubuntu 20 LTS, no need to make the kernel by yourself, usb storage just works. what a surprise.
