The sections of log below (both from the same merge) more or less speak for themselves. Note how it finds my hand-patched 2.6.11 sources (which I'm preparing to upgrade to), then proceeds to compile against 2.6.8.1 (my current running kernel), which results in the access violations. This is easily reproducible -- you just have to attempt to merge it against a kernel other than the one currently running, and it'll happen every time. >>> md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-gentoo-init.gz * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.11-RT-V0.7.40-04 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work -------- make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1' CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211mod.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211conv.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211req.o /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211req.c: In function `p80211req_dorequest': /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211req.c:160: warning: passing arg 2 of `test_and_set_bit' from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211req.c:173: warning: passing arg 2 of `clear_bit' from incompatible pointer type CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211frm.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wep.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wext.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211netdev.o /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wext.c:172:2: warning: #warning "make a smarter sharedkey/opensystem auth decision" /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wext.c:438:2: warning: #warning "get rid of p2mib here" /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wext.c:748:2: warning: #warning "Get rid of p2mib here!" /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211wext.c:1151: warning: 'p80211wext_siwtxpow' defined but not used LD [M] /var/tmp/portage/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23/src/p80211/p80211.o Building modules, stage 2.
