devel kernels 2.3.41

[ramp at oddjob.uchicago.edu]

Hi everyone,

I hope I'm not the only one having problems getting a working
2.3.41 kernel. I downloaded the stock 2.3.41 from kernel.org.
This one didn't even compile. There were some problems with
pci.h. I then decided to go back to 2.3.40 and apply the
pre-patches [1..4] where 4 is the final 2.3.41. I was able
to successfully compile a 2.3.41pre3. However on boot I was
unable to use my keyboard/mouse. The boot messages seemed to
indicate that the keyboard and mouse were recognized. Any ideas
and fixes? 2.3.41pre2 also compiled successfully. On boot this
led to disk errors and I was asked to fsck. This was a total loss
since I could not type anything with the keyboard and mouse not
even recognized. I'm now back to my 2.2.14 and things seem OK.

Any suggestions/comments/ideas/patches will be most welcome.

Thanks - Ramprasad
