I got a successful build using gcc 3.1 (well after I did s/.owner = THIS_MODULE;/.owner = THIS_MODULE,/ in a couple of the drivers/char/agp/*.c) I'm now up and running on a BigSur. -Tony > -----Original Message----- > From: Erich Focht [mailto:efocht@ess.nec.de] > Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 6:06 AM > To: davidm@hpl.hp.com > Cc: linux-ia64@linuxia64.org > Subject: Re: [Linux-ia64] kernel update (relative to 2.5.59) > > > On Saturday 25 January 2003 06:02, David Mosberger wrote: > > Oh, most importantly: you'll need a new assembler in order > to use this > > patch.
