I can see that file2alias.c is using kernel-only includes, >there might be something missing to make it work (this is a hack, and >you know it :P) This has a slight taste of a bzip2 error. As I'm instantly running 2.6.16.9, and have .11 ready for a reboot, I've not encountered any such with my compiles here, but after having been burnt a couple of times, I now get the .gz files to src the stuff and have not had that sort of thing happen since. YMMV of course, but its one suggestion of something to try. >-- >GJ >- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe > linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
