[Pvfs2-developers] pvfs2.o kernel module

[Sam Lang]

Hi Dharani,

Sorry I think I've confused you with version numbers (hopefully we  
can get a major PVFS release out at some point to avoid that).    The  
bug fix was in pvfs to support older kernels (2.4 and their lack of  
the kzalloc function).  I was suggesting you try the pvfs-2.6.3  
release *with* whatever redhat linux 2.4 kernel you're using.
