That looks right, but did you clean out the directory beforehand? I ask because the same thing happened to me. Everything worked when I ran "make clean" in /usr/src/linux before patching. Unfortunately, the patch didn't help, and the kernels i compiled won't boot any more than those compiled with the unpatched 2.6.14-rc3 do. -- Guy Yasko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
