Yes I can compile an 2.6.5 host, an 2.6.5 UML, and an 2.6.6-rc1/2/3 HOST, but not an 2.6.6-rc1/2/3 guest. > The problem is that: > a) I think that file should include the "kernelspace" headers... > however the kludges needed to do it are very fragile when Kbuild changes a > bit (this problem has repeatedly showed up against Linux 2.6). Ok.

See: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/linux-kernel-headers And it would seem that this area (in kernel headers) has recently changed (when compared to 2.5) or up to this point UML builds have been going against kernel provided headers instead of the 2.5 headers debian's shipping. > i.e.: > ln -s /usr/include/asm/mach-default/* /usr/include. > I'll try it, but I had really hoped not to mess with those headers as it's my understanding that important pieces of code (ie glibc, etc) are compiled against those headers. I'll write back to the list whatever I find out. Thanks, George ---------------------------- Love to laugh?
