thanks. I was right saying I had this before. fixed my .69 with one of
the suggestions from may I guess and forgot to add the patch to my
patchlist.

Anyway there is still no solution to this from what I can see. People
always compile kernels and bump -paX but from what I can see the
kernel won't boot up. So how can they test it ? How do they get a
bootable kernel ?

If I remember on solution was adding (void *) casts to all those
function pointer compares but that was not take a solution as Linus
wouldn't accept s.th. like this.
Then there was the solution with the EXPORT_SYMBOL (I think that one
worked for me).

Are you all patching your kernels ? Why not commit one of the fixes
- at least temporary - to p-l.o cvs ?

What didn't I get now ?
