Re: drbd 8.0.2/3 doesn't load under kernel 2.6.21

[Maurice Volaski]

John,

What's story with this? I just tried the patch for 2.6.22 and your 
patch is still trashing the kernel, preventing drbd from being 
compiled in.

Anyone else have any idea how these apparently simple network patches 
could render these symbols inaccessible to the kernel?
