But just as a starting point I'd only try to compile this with whatever kernel version was current the last time this was touched. The last few mercurial changelogs mentioned 2.6.16 to 2.6.19, 2.6.20, & 2.6.24, and it looks like 2.6.30.5 was the last version out as of the last-change date. http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa7231/ 2009-08-26 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ 2009-08-17 2.6.27.31 2009-05-02 2.6.28.10 2009-07-02 2.6.29.6 2009-08-16 2.6.30.5 -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
