That source file compiles fine for me against the current 2.6.20-1 headers. However, there is another problem: LD [M] /home/rra/openafs/usr/src/modules/openafs/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.20-1-s390x-MP/openafs.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module openafs.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'uaccess' This is because of http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/12/43, which redirects copy_to_user and friends through a uaccess struct that's now marked GPL-only. I believe this means that no module that uses copy_to_user can be built on s390 any longer unless the module is GPL-licensed. OpenAFS obviously can't live without copy_to_user, so I think this means that, at the moment, there's a fundamental incompatibility between OpenAFS and the current s390 kernel. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
