Hi Tom,
I used the tomsrtbt-2.0.103.tar.gz download to make my linux disk. Can I still find the last release of Tomsrtbt-1.x.x out there somewhere (that will fake-out the kernel version)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...it works great for me other than that!
Thanks,
Mike

This error is caused by the target shell using compilation options (or the
target library using options) which require that the kernel be newer than
a certain version. It is hard-coded what that version is, and in many if
not most cases it would work fine if the check were not there.
What version of tomsrtbt? Tomsrtbt-2.0.103? In the old Tomsrtbt-1.x.x,
I faked-out the kernel version. Maybe I'll have to do something similar.
Let me know what version of tomsrtbt you are using.
