	This looks similar to the error I got with 2.5.45
virgin. (was hoping device mapper fixes would make it go away)

	Argh. I downloaded the patch, made the link dir with
the right name, and forgot to apply the patch!@#$ :(

	After actually patching (and a make mrproper to make
sure), I get this error, though:

Marc,

I'd like to see LKCD (aka Linux Kernel Crash Dumps) and e2compr in your mcp
tree. The first may not be such
a big problem (getting them to work with kdb2.4 might be bit taunting) the
latter probably needs to be ported. Checked out WOLK3.7 and it works great!

Thanx in advance!

Best regards,

	Pascal

all above are now in -mcp3. Get it :)

their CVS tree isn't 2.5.45, it is 2.5.44 or something between 2.5.44 and .45.

I thought I forgot something ... And it was to look in the kdb dir for an 
update before -mcp3 ;( ...

In for -mcp4. Thanks!

Are these changes not in the cvs tree yet?
