Something must be wrong with the source tree you are using. We do handle the removal of owner field form proc_dir_entry buy guarding against certain kernel version (.24 is first released kernel when setting owner was not really needed; .29 was the first kernel that actually broke compilation): modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c-#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 24) modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c: entry->owner = THIS_MODULE; modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c-#endif I just freshly unpacked the 05.22 tarball and modules compiled against 2.6.30-rc7 without any issues. I will take a look at that warning in a minute. -- Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
