err... is this a patch for generating the kernel patch? I _do_ have the beta6
sources, compiled the tools and generated the patch, but the kernel doesn't
compile. It says sth. about unresolved symbols. Indeed, if I compile lvm as a
module (lvm-mod.o), I can build the kernel and the modules, but there seems to be
"unresolved symbols". Hmmm... and I have had to deactivate lines 333-335 in
tools/lib/liblvm.h because there is a name conflict with this function and the
standard one...
I also have had to add the include dir of the kernel source tree to the
CFLAGS because of a couple of ENOENTs... I have to say that I don't and can't have
the source tree in the standard location (/usr/src) because I'm not root.... I am
sure that I'm doing something stupidly wrong. Am I right?


Thanks for your patience,
