Re: Installing comedi under Mandriva 2005

I just ran into this same problem:

After a bit of poking around, I'm pretty sure a kernel problem, not a
Mandrake/Mandriva problem, since I'm running FC3. Comedi compiles and
runs fine after a the stock FC3 distribution (kernel 2.6.9), but if
you update FC3, you end up with 2.6.11 and comedi no longer
compiles. I spent some time trying to track down the change that
breaks things, but it's beyond me. However, I can confirm that
backing out to the 2.6.9 kernel fixed the problem.

Can anybody confirm getting comedi compiled on a post 2.6.9 kernel?
