There could be another thing, of course. The kernel sources (or .config) needn't be the only variable here -- if you're using the "old" kernel image for the 2.6.20 kernel that works, it could be the case that perhaps you've upgraded userspace packages (compiler/toolchain) in the meanwhile that's causing this breakage ... so to test, try compiling the 2.6.20 on your system again (with same .config) and see if it works now ... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
