The problem is that dec_and_lock.c is not being compiled (or at least the object isnt being included). I believe this is caused by having bad dependencies. My .depend has a dependency to compile the object -- I wager your's does not. So... did you rerun `make dep' ? If not, try a fresh kernel tree and make sure to do `make oldconfig dep clean' after patching. Please let me know because I am trying to track this down, and I don't have it happening to me. I think this should do it. Of note, I will release a patch against 2.4.9-ac2 and 2.4.10-pre1 soon. -- Robert M. Love rml at ufl.edu rml at tech9.net
