[ Redirecting to -stable, where it's more appropriate ]

On Mon, Jan 23, 2006 at 07:31:10PM -0500 I heard the voice of
Jim Keller, and lo! it spake thus:

That's because you haven't installed the new kernel.

This I dunno about.  Were I you, I'd just go ahead and get GENERIC
installed and running so that your kernel matches your userland at
least, then worry about why your can't seem to build your own kernel.
