    Subject2.1.37-pre-4 problems
    Date
    Dear All:
    With the pre-4 patch applied, I *cannot* build a kernel if SMP is
    defined in the makefile because both/either trampoline.S and head.S give
    the following (paraphrased) error message:
    can't fit FFFFFFFFxxxxxxxx into a 4 byte value.

    Some part of the changes introduced seem to now produce a negative
    number. I can cure the problem by NOT building an SMP version.

    Another small issue: I can't build a loginable 2.1.36 anymore for some
    reason. 'login' gives the message:
    Unable to change tty /dev/tty1: operation not permitted
    I'm using Slackware 3.2. Can't find the source for THIS login. Note
    that this seems to be fixed in the non-SMP pre-2.1.37-4 patch. Can
    anyone shed some light on this problem?

    Regards,
    George Byrkit
