Hi All,

I've desperately been trying to get OpenAFS (any version) to compile
with the recent Linux 2.6.25 kernels.

There were issues with the 2.6.24 kernels, but the wonderful folks from
my distribution (Gentoo) fixed this quickly:

    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207882

Unfortunately there are some ACPI/Wireless issues with the 2.6.24
kernels and my laptop, which are all fixed in 2.6.25-rc1 (or later)
kernels. So I'd really like to migrate to the 2.6.25 kernels, but
unfortunately I just can't get OpenAFS to work!

I followed the thread on

    http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2008-February/015804.html

but didn't find any conclusion (or working patch). Has anyone had any
luck with this? I tried the CVS sources, the 1.4.x branch, and the
1.5.x branch. No luck :(

Thanks in advance,

GI
