Thanks for the reply, Steven Yes, I am compiling the drivers using gcc3.2. I had assumed that the stock kernel was compiled using the tools supplied in the distribution installation.
I've tried downloading and using both the 2.4.18-24 and 2.4.18-26 kernels and source from my local mirror. Unfortunately, the test fails in the same way. However, you have raised a couple of avenues of thought that need looking into.
