    Hi,

    I just tried the 2.3.99-pre3 and discoverd/had some problems:
    first of all, the include/linux/autoconf.h was missing, and make xconfig
    needed it.

    then i booted from the new kernel, and only got this line all over the
    screen:
    kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errorno = 8

    then i tried to make a kernel without modules (configured by make
    xconfig),
    and got undefined referneces

    I think this only a small problem in the configuration...
    (.config on request, i don't want to be flamed because of sending 20k)

    at last my ISDN-Card wasn't automatically detected, in spite of the
    automatic isapnp-configuration (Siemens I-Surf) (the Sound Blaster AWE32
    made it without problems). btw: i have a RedHat 6.1-Distribution

    Thanks for your work and your attention
    Ciao
