Re: LVM problems with newer kernel...

Well the 2.4.19pre7 won't compile past the ioctl32 section.  I'll just
wait until the sparc maintainers release a kernel that works properly.
The patch below won't patch either the binfmt_elf.c file with 2.4.18 or
2.4.19pre7 source.  Thanks for the information though, I was under the
impression that a relased kernel would at least compile on the platforms
contained in the source without modification from SuSE.

Ah say, son, you're about as sharp as a bowlin' ball.
