I also asked less to search for it in .config without finding it. This was in 2.6.0-test3-mm2's src dir. I reran a make menuconfig and saved, and a trial make is underway now. Damn, grep must not look at .files, its there, and still 14. Thanks a bunch, new build underway. However, I'd assume a make mrproper, or an oldconfig might reset that to the include/config/log/buf/shift.h value? Its also in autoconfig.h FWTW. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
