What kernel are you using?  and what does /usr/src/linux point to?

Hello Guys,

Sorry for the delay but I had a couple of servers to do - the kernel thing fixed it :)

Cheers,

Pieter

so this is invalid .

[Comment 4 James Rose 2004-01-28 12:30:20 UTC]

What exactly is "the kernel thing" that fixed this problem?  I have the exact same problem. 
/usr/src/linux -> linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6

This doesn't really seem invalid to me.

Change your symlink to the latest kernel. It is kinda INVALID since it is not a bug, and should have been fixed by myself (Although I would like to see that Gentoo automaticly - via a setting in make.conf - upgrade my kernel)
