What I sent you was the output of diff(1) and represents the differences between files that you have now and files your should get to make it work. You safe the mail and give it to patch(1), like % cd /sys/conf % patch --ignore-whitespace < saved_email Then you run config as normal and build the kernel. When I mention diff(1) and patch(1), I mean the user tools for which you can read the manual page with: % man 1 diff % man 1 patch This is as far as I can help you. If this doesn't help you on your way, then you have to wait for 5.5 to be released and switch to that. FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
