Reach spca5xx-20041224 #
It seems that it cannot find my kernel version, but:
Code:
Reach spca5xx-20041224 # uname -r
2.6.14-gentoo-r4
[/code
[code]]Reach spca5xx-20041224 # ls -l /usr/src
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   22 Dec  8 20:35 linux -> linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r4
[/code]

Any help would be appreciated.
