[OpenAFS-devel] compiling a kernel module for 2.6.28.1

[Dr A V Le Blanc]

Has anyone had success compiling a kernel module for 2.6.28.1?  For
1.4.8 I get this:

  CC [M]  /tmp/openafs-1.4.8/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.28.1-MP/osi_vfsops.o

and for 1.5.56, I get this:

  CC [M]  /tmp/openafs-1.5.56/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.28.1-SP/rx.o
/tmp/openafs-1.5.56/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.28.1-SP/rx.c: In function 'rxi_NewCall':

This is on a Debian lenny system with 32-bit architecture, using standard
kernel.org kernel source and with gcc-4.3.2.
