Ok. That's essentially what I did too. > That procedure should be common to all architectures, > but in the previous release hppa was an exception.

Well, hppa still needs such a patch for 2.6.18. Please file a bug against linux-source-2.6.18 package. Essentially the 4 offending lines need to be deleted in mm/init.c and recent SMP patches need to be backported. > When you say you get the same thing with the > linux-source-2.6.18 tar ball do you mean you tried it with the > standard (non Debian) source code? That is interesting. No - I also installed linux-source-2.6.18 and unpacked the archive (.tar.bz2 file). If you are trying to build SMP kernel, my advice is to use parisc-2.6 git tree on git.kernel.org. Several SMP fixes went into that and seems to be fairly stable (outside of XFS problems). grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
