That one is definitely too old, as it doesn't even have SYSFS_DEPRECATED in the config: $ grep SYSFS config-generic-2.6.18 CONFIG_VIDEO_PVRUSB2_SYSFS=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=m CONFIG_SYSFS=y This should narrow down the search to 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 though. For what it's worth, 12.0 was shipped on 20070630, and 11.0 went out on 20061001. -RW
