Oh, that indeed is the latest one.
I successfully compiled and installed that here today against
2.6.22.5-18 kernel-source. That's why I thought you must be using an
older one. But that box is running openSUSE 10.3beta - so maybe there is
some incompatibility between 10.3 and 10.2 after all?
Oliver contacted me off-list. Apparently its because of the GCC version used
to compile the kernel packages for SUSE 10.3. Packages for 10.2 have been
made available but I appear to be having non-local network problems so having
difficulty downloading them.
