RE: [PLUG] Kernel Compilation Error


 well, i'm running the 2.4.7 stock RH 7.2 kernel now, but it doesn't have
any of the APIC power management features. Also the 2.4.9 RH7.2 updated
kernel screws up artsd (cpu overload!). i thought i'd play with a
(semi)bleeding edge kernel and see how it works with APIC support.

I believe that's a known problem in 2.4.14...

Here's a link:

Supposedly you can delete the two lines in the source that reference
'deactivate_page'.  (Personally, I'm waiting for the
2.4.[10,11,12,13,14,?] series to settle down...)
