BTW, why is Mandriva the only distro to turn OFF REGPARM?. Again, I think distros shouldn't be given an option to turn it off if its a good thing to have. Are there any good reasons why REGPARM is turned off?. ------------------ Yet one more reason to have something like kernel-config (similar to gtk-config or xmms-config) where you can get the package's cflags, ldflags, other info. for example kernel-config --cflags should say -DUSE_REGPARM -I/lib/modules/blah/blah kernel-config --libdir should say where the lib/modules/blah/blah kernel-config --srcdir should say where the kernel sources are installed or not installed. kernel-config --configsrc should configure the kernel source with the running kernel's configuration. kernel-config --installsrc should automatically download the RIGHT source from the net. Right now if you go on Ubuntu or Mandrake and you try to install kernel source - you get the option of stripped source, kernel-headers, kernel-2.6.blah which may not be installed. Any comments? best regards Dev Mazumdar ----------------------------------------------------------- 4Front Technologies 4035 Lafayette Place, Unit F, Culver City, CA 90232, USA.
