Re: Grrrr... compiling modules.
You instaled libc5 recently didn't you? The libc package overwrites your
kernel include files with whatever version libc was compiled with... I
have been bitten and annoyed by this several times also! When I install
a new kernel, or after I change my version of libc, I always do the
following:
cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
cd /usr/src
tar -xzf linux-2.0.23.tar.gz
This is the WrongThing(tm) to do with Debian, but FOR ME (this is a
personal preference) I consider it to be less wrong than using include
files from an old kernel version when using a newer one (or in your
case, include files from a newer kernel with a older kernel).
