Doug,
I have seen some problems with the rpm build and default install of your kernel sources. NWFS and the SCI drivers will **NOT** build against it since you post in a linux and linux-up kernel for lilo during boot. People using these drivers who email me always have to do a "make distclean" to get stuff to build. I am very familiar with the kernel.h changes you guys put in that are different from stock kernels, but despite this, it's far from "plug and play" for a customer building third party kernel modules on your rpms. I am not saying this is bad or anything, but it does require that the customer A) have a Linux consultant to do the installation or B) be a competent Linux programmer. Kind of tough this to expect a secretary to do without a little help.
This is way off topic at this point. This was originally related to BUG() getting called from builds against a virgin source tree. Alan Cox has asked me to look into the code and determine just where the BUG() message is getting generated from. I am pursuing this at present.
Jeff
