John, What's story with this? I just tried the patch for 2.6.22 and your patch is still trashing the kernel, preventing drbd from being compiled in. Anyone else have any idea how these apparently simple network patches could render these symbols inaccessible to the kernel? >It turns out I was adding the web100 patch (http://www.web100.org) to >the 2.6.21 kernel and that's what causes the symbol resolving problem >below.
