I see this in the build log: WARNING: "cmpxchg" [drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic.ko] undefined! This is interesting because it's the same issue I'm seeing (with etch's kernel) trying to get aufs to work on arm. Isn't this a more general issue that cmpxchg should be available for arm? Why is the existing handler for cmpxchg not being built I wonder? -- see shy jo
