Hmm? I'm talking about scripts/update-linux-headers.sh in the qemu tree. That does a "rm -rf" followed by copying over the bits from linux kernel. So when switching from my virtio-input branch back to master (in the linux kernel source tree) and re-running the script the header file will disappear ... Sounds like you are talking about something completely different. cheers, Gerd
