Re: Compile errors with 2.4.14 kernel

["PK Whelan" <pkw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unpacking the kernel source again did the trick.  I afterwards realized that 
I had previously applied the ext3 patch and that's what messed things up.  
The ext3 patch puts those 2 EXPORT_SYMBOL statements in fs/buffer.c when xfs 
had already put them in kernel/ksym.c (like you had said - there were 
duplicates).
So, if you're going to apply the xfs and the ext3 patch you'll have to 
remove those dups in order to compile.
Thanks for the help!
