Alan didn't think it was a good idea, so his AC series kernels still use the old style MIN/MAX macros. Unfortunately, the way the patches are currently generated, any kernel above 2.4.9 is assumed to have the new format. > Feel free to tell me "don't bother with -ac kernels and LVM", all > I *truly* care about from the -ac tree is ext3, but it would be nice > if it's a simple fix. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is. You possibly could go in and manually change the kernel version in the PATCHES/Makefile file to be 2.4.8-ac9; this shouldn't change anything but which versions of the patches are put into the patch and the patch name, but it may not work. I would try this first...if that doesn't work, we'll have to start looking at alternatives. Regards, -- AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
