Just to make sure, I downloaded it again (and the linux-2.6.26-rc5 tree) and now it works. When I compare the two patchsets the one I pulled this morning had patches from 7 June and this one has more and they are from 11th June. Thanks a lot for your help, at last I now have all the patches and can go on with testing. Thanks, Holger
