Hi David When I compiled the kernel yesterday using the same version of the kernel and the openvz patch I did not need to do anything with symlinking.
My compile line look something like this: export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=true untar xxx.tar.gz cd /usr/src/linux make-kpkg -rfakeroot --append-to-version -openvz --added_patches openvz \ --revision 02 --initrd I used the same .config file as in the upstream version. I built it for 486, 686 and k7. Regards, // Ola On Wed, Dec 20, 2006 at 10:30:34AM +0200, David Baron wrote: > >> Hi > >> > >> I have built it now and I have no problem building.
