That's an upstream kernel source problem, which I think is supposed to be fixed in 2.4.17. See the bug report here: http://bugs.debian.org/123944 Also, it's usually advisable to use the debian kernel packages rather than the kernel.org sources. Look into debian's kernel-package (make-kpkg) as well. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
