this is even more interesting. i followed, verbatim, the docs and
your way of applying xfs patches and i get the same errors during
kernel compile. i trashed my system� but that's okay, and now i'm
back. after a fresh install what i found is is a lot of my system
files and directories have their time or date set 8 hours or a day
ahead. remember this is a fresh install right after the very first
boot. i even exited "tasksel" just to be sure i'm not the one causing
the problems.
i don't know if this has something to do with my problems with xfs
pero i stopped and i'm using reiserfs now. i can't afford another
down time at this moment. do you think this is a problem with
debian2.2r0 itself?
