[Click] click kernel module compile for Debian Lenny

[Adam Greenhalgh]

hi,

if you search the mailing list there are patches for linux-2.6.24.7 .
I'm not sure if they are in the git tree yet.

I was not able to successfully build a kernel with 2.6.19.2 sources, as the error that I get below (with the PDA) seems to come from using a later version of gcc and binutils (according to what I read in the linux forums).  So I brought over the most recent sources: 2.6.27.1 and I was able to build a (pre-patched) kernel which runs just fine.
