wrt the LO ones, are you compiling against the correct kernel-headers package? On Debian, you get this when you do make-kpkg, but you still have to remember to install it.

The last kerneli patch for 2.2.x was, patch-int-2.2.18.3.gz, but I patched that against 2.2.19, ran `make oldconfig` chose blowfish,idea, serpent. recompiled, reboot, runs fine. I patched the util-linux patch that comes with patch-int-2.2.18.3.gz to util-linux-2.10o, (thats the version for the patch) (eek can anyone understand this?). ran configure, make. problems. configure output is as follows:

You have inet_aton() You have <scsi/scsi.h> You don't have <linux/blkpg.h> You don't need <linux/tqueue.h> You have <linux/kd.h> You don't have <term.h> You don't have ncurses - I will not make ul and setterm. You don't have termcap - I will not make more. You need -lcrypt You have <locale.h> You have <libintl.h> and gettext() Assuming that you want to enable NLS support. (Otherwise, edit defines.h and remove the line with ENABLE_NLS) You have <langinfo.h> You have __progname You have <pty.h> and openpty() You don't have wide character support You have nanosleep() You have personality() You don't have __NR_pivot_root You have a tm_gmtoff field in struct tm Your rpcgen output does not compile

As to debian, Ive never used their kernel packages, and looking in dselect, the kerneli patch in potato is for 2.2.14 but theres a bug in < 2.2.19 isnt there?

thanks,
