aehm, did I spoil it myself, or is it someone else:
compiling .... and then:
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map
2.4.18-pre4; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-pre4/kernel/fs/minix/minix.o
depmod: waitfor_one_page
..config was taken over from 2.4.17, where it was working.
??

My mistake. Add "EXPORT_SYMBOL(waitfor_one_page);" to kernel/ksyms.c.
Already fixed in my tree.
Thanks.

The situation between [1] and [2] won't change, so I don't
understand the "continue" here and think it will either never be
triggered or an endless loop.
Could you or the one introducing this clarify?
Thanks & Regards

Good eyes. I missed that in both reviewing and in testing.

Lovely... Thanks for spotting.

I've seen this line various times, and I know the details are available
elsewhere, but the verbosity of this is inconsistent with the rest of
your entries. "Networking updates" can be bugfix, compatibility fix,
policy change, whatever; may I ask that you include some information to
the nature of these "Networking updates" please or, alternatively, send
an URL to the corresponding "Networking updates" ChangeLog?
Thanks a lot.
Also, do you plan to integrate Andre's IDE patches soon? Is it scheduled
for e. g. 2.4.19-pre1?
