Make sure the tree is clean (make mrproper should > do for the files generated by the kernel build) You don't have to do 'make mrproper'. Instead, get the dontdiff file from http://www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/dontdiff and add '-X dontdiff' to the diff command line. Filenames matching the patterns specified in dontdiff will be ignored. Hope this helps, Ravi. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
