I just patched the 2.4.9 kernel with the latest patch '10-pre2' to find out
what the major re-org was about.

By the way, to you who asked about how to patch the kernel heres what you
do:
unpack the kernel: tar -xzf linux-2.4.9.tar.gz
download the latest patch from kernel.org or a mirror and gunzip it:
gunzip patch-x.x.gz
 move the gunziped file to the unpacked kernel and run this:
patch -p1 < patch-x.x
the make your regular compile.

Now i just finished trying the new patch and i got the following error:

In file included from keyboard.c:41:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.10-pre2/include/linux/vt_kern.h:35: parse error before
`.'
make[3]: *** [keyboard.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10-pre2/drivers/char'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10-pre2/drivers/char'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_char] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10-pre2/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

Whats the problem?

Regards Isak
