linux-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl works.
it was the first one I compiled against here.
if you read drbd-0.6.12/INSTALL
you see that you need to :
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
cp /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl  .config

#Lars NOTE: it's config-2.4.some-thing not kernel-2.4.some-thing.config
#	at least under fedora.

#then set the compiler correctly
export CC=gcc32

I do not know why the Install file uses `make -s oldconfig_nonint` but `make
oldconfig;make oldconfig` has always worked for me. Lars comment?

on fedora you still need to do the editing to drbd_config.h (uncomment
SIGHAND_HACK).

OK, INSTALL file patch attached.
this is against the INSTALL file that comes with drbd-0.6.12


BTW I think fedora put 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl out for security reasons, so you
might want to upgrade the kernel any way.

Blasted anoying 'tis.
