Hello,
I also received this error:

ohci1394.c:1588: structure has no member named 'next' make[2]:*** [ohci1394.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/drivers/ieee1394'
...
Its the same case with drivers/i2o/i2o_lan.c

I suspect there are more. Is there a simple patch that will fix all affected drivers?

Regards,
Frank

Working on it. I _need_ pre8, because of some critical fixes in it.

Whoever changed this interface without fixing _all_ the offending files, should be shot^W^Wthink about the meaning of the words

CODE FREEZE
for at least one week.

Sorry, but this had to be said ;-)

But heh, we all make mistakes sometimes.

yah there are a lot. ive posted a couple of patches already.

the problem is because the task queue was changed (yes, this late in 2.4) to a newer better design, and drivers have not been redone for the new implementation. so, there is no simple patch, and we need to fix all these.

patches like you did for i2o are what we need. basically its just changing to the new macros/member names.
