Is that something crucial? No, it's just how the sparc64 maintainer wants it to be. > Do you know howto get the kernel to compile? Please tell me what information > you need to help me. The USB monitor bug has already been fixed in a later kernel. On the stop_sioq error, I also see it on a cross-build but not on a native x86_64 build. That's odd. It is incorrect (should not be marked as __exit since it is called from __init code and from __exit code). Do you want to submit a patch for that? --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
