Hi.
I've been playing with the new 2.4.25 kernel and have got it up and running. I then tried to apply the acpi patch from
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ and recompile the kernel. Now I get the following when I boot (this is a section from dmesg)
uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1

Everything seems to work fine but I am concerned about the presence of "kernel BUG" and the segmentation error. I don't know enough about linux to interprate this. I'd appreciate anyone's insight.
Also, the first time I compiled the new kernel I didn't run 'make clean'. My old configuration was untouched, which is what I wanted. The second time I did run 'make clean' and now my old configuration for the 2.4.20 kernel was changed. Is there anyway to undo this. I liked having the security of a backup kernel.
