Hi,

i just installed the latest kernel (2.4-test10).

On recompilation of my "Nvidia" kernel drivers (for geforce 2 3d video support
in linux), it failed linking to "mem_map_inc_count" (and dec_count).

Im not much of a programmer, but to get it working all i had to do was to add
to '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/wrapper.h':
/*the patch*/
#define mem_map_inc_count(p)    atomic_inc(&(p->count))
#define mem_map_dec_count(p)    atomic_dec(&(p->count))
/*end patch*/

yes, you'll notice i ripped this out of the older kernels..

good luck in finding an alternative, or just leave it in, or whatever.

cheers

David
