Hi,

all went very well.

I installed latest Debian sarge Linux kernel-image 2.4.27 and the
drbd-modules-source package from Cyril, compiled and installed
drbd-0.7.21 with:

cd /usr/src; tar -xzf drbd-0.7.tar.gz
cd kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-686-smp
make-kpkg modules_image
cd ..
dpkg -i \
  drbd0.7-module-2.4.27-3-686-smp_0.7.21-3+2.4.27-10sarge3_i386.deb

All running fine.

Many thanks to the DRBD developers and to you Cyril.

Frank
