[...] After further inspection, I *think* it's because nettel is being built as a module, and it's trying to reference ROOT_DEV, which is not exported.
You're right. Look at: commit a2d2b5cb8e5d8787f009eeb3bbca52687bd42a77 [ http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/13/166 ] You could export ROOT_DEV to modules back again, or perhaps: http://www.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-March/012290.html to get around the build error. [ It might've been unexported for good reasons, of course, see: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/30/179 ] Satyam - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
