I'm applying this patch now, but I just wanted to touch on the Fedora thing quickly. Their headers are now generated as a separate -headers package for kernel. This is what it says in the spec file: # glibc provides scsi headers for itself, for now rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/scsi rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/asm*/atomic.h rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/asm*/io.h rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/asm*/irq.h http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/kernel/kernel-2.6.spec?view=markup atomic.h, io.h and irq.h don't get installed on x86 looking at my recent build. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
