Up to now all patches from -rc's have been compatible with the current stable kernel version, but this time it doesn't even compile anymore... I won't be able to test my latest changes, without undoing the recent rc-compatibility changes. I don't know if it will be a problem for the other developers, but for me it is one. Can you suggest me something handy for getting along with it, without going to 2.6.VV-rcX ? (VV > my current kernel-version)? regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
