RE: [3c509] Compile time error on SuSE 9 with latest netdrivers.tgz file

This is what my param.h files consists of (in it's entirety):

#ifndef _ASMi386_PARAM_H
#define _ASMi386_PARAM_H

#ifdef __KERNEL__
# define HZ             1000            /* Internal kernel timer frequency
*/
# define USER_HZ        100             /* .. some user interfaces are in
"ticks
" */
# define CLOCKS_PER_SEC (USER_HZ)       /* like times() */
#endif

#ifndef HZ
#define HZ 100
#endif

#define EXEC_PAGESIZE   4096

#ifndef NGROUPS
#define NGROUPS         32
#endif

#ifndef NOGROUP
#define NOGROUP         (-1)
#endif

#define MAXHOSTNAMELEN  64      /* max length of hostname */

#endif

Thanks.

Hmmm, it looks as if you are running a modified kernel.
The likely element in common here is 'HZ', which should be defined as a
constant in
   /usr/include/asm/param.h
The first few lines of the file should have

#ifndef HZ
#define HZ 100
#endif
