Something like this: An aside (I don't know how correct it is): I see that this guide http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x384.htm says you can, if desired, CNTRL-C the kernel build after the SPLIT line and it still results in the source configured correctly for module building: [root@pcsenonsrv linux-2.6.x]# make CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-i386 SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/* [cntrl-c] Also on that page, the author seems (?) to clarify/contradict his earlier statement about it being desirable to force module loading when the kernel version magic is mismatched. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
