I tried the latest two: - 2.4.10: seems to fail to define the macro atomic_dec_and_lock (linux/spinlock.h) in various files like kernel/fork.c, resulting in undefined symbols. I think that linux/spinlock.h should be included (I followed the #include-s), but it isn't for some subtle reason. - 2.4.9: bug in the pc_keyb driver, can be fixed with an extra #include, but even then some modules get undefined symbols (same as in 2.4.10). Therefore I cannot run any of these kernels. The rest of the software on this computer is a Debian potato (gcc 2.95.2). Any feedback would be appreciated. Andras
