Heya all..

after make kernel for pppd
i try to remake my 2.0.33 kernel.. and here's the error I get...

Could you please post:

grep -C dev_kfree_skb /usr/src/linux/{driver/net/ppp.c,include/linux/skbuff.h}

entering:
grep -C dev_kfree_skb /usr/src/linux/{drivers/net/ppp.c,include/linux/skbuff.h}

gave me:

Hm, you have a strange ppp.c

Please comment out the ifdefs about FREE_SKB, use
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE)
instead.
Tell me what happens.
