Ah, ok...makes sense (/me makes mental note to look at post-2.2 i386
kernel source more closely). I was just going to write you and ask about
that too, so thanks for beating me to the punch!
So, I'm unsure of the best course of action...should I provide a kernel
patch to fix this or have i386 revert back to an older version for
now? I'm in a quandry since hppa NEEDS this version, as do a few other
platforms, but i386 is a mess...suggestions, anyone?
