I got the following error while doing "make modules" (after
successful "make config; make dep; make clean; make zImage")
on linux 2.1.48 :
------------------------------------
[Irrelevant portions cut off]

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/src/linux-2.1.48/fs/smbfs'

------------------------------------

On examination, the file linux-2.1.48/include/linux/fs.h which
contains "struct file" definition, does not contain a field
"f_inode". What am I missing? Has anybody successfully compiled smb
as a module under 2.1.48 ?
