Thanks alot! I think I did that earlier, but after an apt-get upgrade
it might have been 'updated'. I set it to 'HOLD' (dselect) next time.

Yes, I always use the CVS trunk. I always have the CVS tree on
a different machine and do a CVS update on it (intel laptop with internet
connection, at work) and then copy the kernel to the parisc-linux machine
(no internet connection, at home). So I always have a fresh, clean CVS
kernel (with no old *.o files).

But I just did a 'make clean' when I decided to make a 64bit. I forgot
that it is actually a different architecture ... This might have caused
the problem!
Thanks for reminding!
