Kernel v.2.1.47 will not compile when the vfat filesystem is included. It
seems to me that the file linux/fs/vfat/namei.c should have been updated
to match te declarations in linux/include/linux/msdos_fs.h. Is this fixed
somewhere yet, so I can compile this kernel? And by the way, where are the
new kernels first to be found?
The error-message from the compilation is as follows:
...
