Actually that doesn't matter. One hunk failed on me as well.

I guess you got it yourself somehow > (or the name changed). It's in the Pax security patch for the kernel, under non-executable pages. It prevents code from relocating. As executable position is randomised, non pic code (like assembler) can't run, because Pax won't allow the kernel to relocate it.

Mail has a very short life here, but this might be the solution http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hlfs-dev/2006-january/002659.html That link isn't working in lynx. Bah! I'm reading the link off mozilla. Those sed commands give you a level less of interpetation in agpgart.h and the build goes through. That's probably the last error you'll get. But you may not have dri. -- With best Regards, Declan Moriarty. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
