no, no, no! That's for a 2.4.x kernel.
  


True, but the old way still works just fine.
 

BTW... you don't use nVidia drivers, do you? I tried the 2.6.9-pre4
kernel with version 6111, and it wouldn't build.

Cheers... worked perfectly. But why was one line missed out of one 
file? Politics??? Probably.

up and running on 2.6.9 and slackware in a *real* windows

Spoke too soon. Logged in... great. But no mouse, no response to 
anything but the power button. Back to 2.6.8.1

Turns out that it was a problem with the modules. Looks like I forgot to 
clean out the /lib/modules/2.6.9 directory from my previous attempts 
with -rc4 before I started! rm -rf, followed by make modules_install, 
and all is well.

Cheers,
