Dear kernel gurus, I cannot compile since -ac4 or -ac5 with same config, but it is _not_ related to the problems reported earlier (rwsem and OLD_GCC). It is a rwsem problem though, but look: --8x---snip gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/glc/build/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointe

Hi Alan, looking at 2.4.3-ac2 patch i found that 165x0 serial driver was downgraded from version 5.05 to 5.02 during the 2.4.3 merge. Looks strange for me, both 2.4.3 and 2.4.2-ac28 had serial driver 5.05 included. Is it late 1 April joke ? :)) Best regards. -- Andrey Panin| Emb
