Re: dkms build of aacraid fails for fedora?

I had an older version of dkms, so I upgraded to version 1.00 from your 
web site.  That didn't fix it.  I looked at the file that was causing 
the error (see the original message below) and I found that there is a 
snippet of code in rx.c, sa.c, and rkt.c which was causing the conflict:

#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,0))
# include <linux/interrupt.h>
#else
   typedef void irqreturn_t;
# define IRQ_HANDLED
# define IRQ_NONE
#endif

I deleted the typedef line in each file and ran dkms build and dkms 
install without a hitch.  The system rebooted cleanly.  I'll keep my 
fingers crossed :-)

I'm no kernel developer, but are these changes related to the irqbalance 
daemon that showed up in FC 1?

Let me know if there's a better way to do this.

Thanks.
