Dear All, I am new to this Fedora Linux. I worked on SuSE and Red Hat Linux. Now I am using Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel version. I got a problem while compiling a module, but the same module is working under SuSE 9.1 with 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 kernel versions. I understood that the error messages are related to spin_lock_irqsave and spin_lock_init only. If I comment those two lines the compilation is OK. Please find the attached txt files for error messages that are occur. Please any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Srinivas G
