I grabbed what I thought was latest yesterday using git.  ie roughly I 
followed the directions to clone the repo, checkout the 29 branch and 
grab the kernel patch, then compiled kernel, reboot, then build the 
kernel module from the git repo

So this should be latest aufs I think?

I see someone else report a very similar problem here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272451

That user was using the gentoo patched kernel, which is a near vanilla 
kernel with just some very small amount of patches

I obviously need to try a vanilla kernel, but I don't immediately see 
why the vserver patches might cause these missing symbols errors?  
Surely these are all defined within the module code?

For reference I am using the latest 2.6.29.5 patch from the bottom of 
the linux-vserver.org home page (marked experimental, but really just 
the current status of the project)

Thanks for any help - really need to get this working in order to 
progress some embedded project...

Thanks
