Oh, I always get that compiler version warning for gcc3. I've double checked, seems that I only have gcc3 installed: $ dpkg -l | grep gcc ii gcc 3.3.4-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 3.3.4-3 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3-base 3.3.4-3 The GNU Compiler Collection (base package) ii libgcc1 3.3.4-3 GCC support library $ cc --version cc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-3) ~$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-3) When I get those "unresolved kernel symbols" in RH, I need to "prepare the kernel source" -- those "make xconfig" stuffs. Do I have to do the same in Debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
