Hello all,

Minor problem here...with compilation of latest stable 2.4.10 kernel and JFS
as module.I think this might be related to the VM changes that went into
the kernel...System Slackware Linux 8.0 with jfs built as module.Here is the
output of the make modules failure when compiling 2.4.10:

-- begin --

The 1.0.5 snapshot applies to the kernel source just fine...no failures when
patching.
I noticed that the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h file is not patched
anymore, where
is the change occurring now? what file is patched?Before this was always
causing 
failed hunks but easy to fix with adding 4 lines...to the fs.h file.

Is there going to be a new release soon that will be updated to 2.4.10 kernel? 
I noticed current JFS 1.0.5 is up to 2.4.7.I would greatly appreciate any help
with this
problem or even a small temporary fix to the jfs_metapage.c.Thanks for you
help.


Regards,

Paul B
