kvm.git is actually 2.6.24-rc, pulled from -linus at a random point in time, so it's not at all surprising if something is broken. One option is for you to pull -linus to get the latest and hopefully greatest and see if the bug is fixed. Another is to use the external module capability to build kvm.git against 2.6.23.1. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
