RedHat has kernel unfriendly gcc in many versions. You should have kgcc and need to set it as the compiler in Makefile. 2.5.x kernels are development. Noone ever said, that all drivers compile, let alone work (generally, this is true about any <any number>.<odd number>.<anything> kernels - they have odd numbers, thus they are odd). Try other versions if they work for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
