Yo All! I have had problems with crashes since 2.3.99pre3 so I have been trying all the new kernels. Just tried 2.4.0-test3. It fails in kernel/timer.c unless I have SMP enabled. Then it fails in our beloved md.c. Looks like someone changed "priority" to "nice" in the task_struct. So I changed current->priority to current->nice is 4 places and it compiled OK. Dunno if this was the right thing to do but fingers are crossed. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
