[KLUG Members] 2.4.22 On The Verge

[Peter Buxton]

I think you'll be happier with 2.6.x than with all those backported 2.4
features. I've never understood why everyone else seems to have a
problem with compiling their own kernels. ;-)

On Mon, Sep 01, 2003 at 11:50:18AM -0400, Adam Williams was only escaped
   alone to tell thee:

I've not migrated volumes from LVM 1 to 2, so I can't help you here.

What does your gcc toolchain look like, as per the example commands in
'./Documentation/Changes'? Aside from using gcc 3.3.1, not 2.95.3, my
toolchain is pretty close to the norm and I get no errors. (Or is Red
Hat foreporting features, now, in their 2.6.x kernel? ;-)

o  Gnu C                  2.95.3                  # gcc --version
