Ok, I ugraded to 2.7.2 and now when I do the make dep ; make clean 
I'm getting a zillion ( well, 8 anyway) error messages that I never 
saw before:

genksysms "ksyms.c": warning: symbol [do_mmap] unknown 'struct 
sem_undo'

and additional similar warnings about sem_queue, minix_super_block, 
ext2_super_block, struct sock, struct ip_mc_list, udphdr, and 
scsi_disk!

Then when I do a make zImage there are 10 new error messages along 
the lines of:

/usr/src/linuxelf-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h:82 inconsistant operand 
constraints in an `asm'

Then it dies a horrible death with:

make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1

Now what? Where's the ghost in wormhole?

Thanks,

Jim S.
