Oops! This is not the linux kernel problem, but the "procps" package problem. This is probably a work-around: 1. $ apt-get source procps 2. $ cd procps-VERSION 3. edit proc/sysinfo.c 165c165 < fprintf(stderr, "Unknown HZ value! (%ld) Assume %ld.\n", h, Hertz); --- > /* fprintf(stderr, "Unknown HZ value! (%ld) Assume %ld.\n", h, Hertz); */ 4. $ fakeroot debian/rules binary 5. # dpkg -i ../procps_VERSION_i386.deb 6. # dpkg -i ../libproc-dev_VERSION_i386.deb Hope this helps! -- Patrick Hsieh<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG Pubilc Key at http://www.ezplay.tv/~pahud/pahudatezplay.pubkey MD5 checksum: b948362c94655b74b33e859d58b8de91 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
