The 2.4.16 kbuild patch should have said Marcelo, not Linus. I use Linus/Marcelo/AC as a shorthand to tell people which of the 20+ kernel trees the patch is against. In particular Marcelo/Linus means the standard kernel announced by those people, not a RedHat/Debian/whatever patched kernel and not an architecture specific kernel. _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
