Well, that could work... but cannot you tell make-kpkg which .config to use? Also, simply changing the .config is not enough (adding a "touch .config" should do the trick). At least, on 2.6 I had some problems hand-editing it, maybe in unusual cases. > I would have thought > that the action of applying this patch would auto-enable this setting?! My latest 2.4 patch does not use CONFIG_PROC_MM, but evidently the skas package contains an older one. I don't know if it's even a buggy, old version.
However, the default value is anyway y, I think. > The resulting kernel is working but does not seem to implement the SKAS > patch. Hmm, IIRC the kernel did not compile with SKAS turned off, but maybe it was fixed in the patch you have... -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
