What version of linux-headers are you using?

[Comment 2 Arno 2004-04-16 08:38:56 UTC]

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     UD] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 [2.6.1] 

It seems to want to downgrade, but I'm running 2.6.3 kernel. Not sure why that is?

[Comment 3 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2004-04-16 08:43:12 UTC]

Could you try upgrading to linux-sources-2.6.3 and see if that helps?

[Comment 4 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2004-04-16 08:43:55 UTC]

I meant: linux-headers, not linux-sources, I'm sorry :)

[Comment 5 Arno 2004-04-16 08:55:21 UTC]

That fixed it! Should probably have figured that out myself heh. Thanks!

[Comment 6 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2004-04-16 09:03:17 UTC]

I'm glad to hear it :) It's usually best to keep your linux-headers up to date with the currently used version of the kernel.
