Re: Compiling pcmcia-source
Well, I'm going to say 2.4.17 anyway...
Yesterday, I compiled a 2.4 kernel for the first time. I went for 2.4.16
because I thought it was better for vmware.
It failed to compile even before I got to the pcmcia source. The message
wasn't exactly what you got; it was from the linker. Unresolved or
duplicate symbols or something. A buddy in the office said to try 2.4.17
because he thought 2.4.16 was only out for a day before 2.4.17 came out
(so it must have been bad, he figured). Anyway, 2.4.17 compiled, installed
and booted up fine, as far as I can tell so far.
