Hi: I don't know whether I got from CVS is really 4.3.0.1. Since the CVS command I type is cvs -q checkout -r xf-4_3_0_1 -P xc And my CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs By the way, in lnx_io.c I download by this CVS command, I found #include <linux/version.h> in it. Is that enough to successfully compile the code under kernel 2.6.X or should I check other conditions? Appreciate your help.
