ah. i just tried commenting out the raid stuff in ioctl32.c which then
compiled OK, but the kernel compile still failed due to other errors.
i'd like to stick with 2.2.13 if at all possible. i'm really sick of the
bugs in the 2.2 series kernel...most of which are caused by the the fact
that 2.2 kernel is NOT being treated as a stable, bugfix only release.
every new version has folded in new features from the 2.3 the series,
which has resulted in new bugs.
2.2.13 has turned out to be very stable for i386 architecture (the first
really stable kernel since 2.2 was released) so i want to stick with it
and avoid the new code / new bugs in the 2.2.14pre patches.
thanks for your comment. when i get time, i'll try folding in only the
fixes from 2.2.14...but i don't think that's going to be an easy job (i
am not a kernel hacker)
