No, I can bet it won't compile without testing. Why don't you use the 2.6.8.1 patch, or even a later kernel? Also, the "-4" part makes me think it's not a vanilla kernel, which calls for more problem. > should the uml patch > version and kernel version be the same always?? No, especially on 2.4 kernels they can be different; however, the more different are the two versions, the more you'll likely get into trouble. Especially for 2.6 kernels. Also, with 2.6 you'll likely want to use the latest available UML version for greater stability. We currently keep fixing more bugs than we introduce. > Thanks, > Ashwin -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Skype user "PaoloGiarrusso" Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade |
