undefined symbol PMD_SHIFT

[AlanW]

With 2.6.34.1 (and also 2.6.33.6) I'm getting the following error

arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:642: undefined symbol `PMD_SHIFT' referenced in expression

It was previously an issue in 2.6.13.

Configured for AMD32, .config is available at http://wylie.me.uk/tmp/config-2.6.34.1-pax

This should be fixed in the latest patch uploaded yesterday. Check to make sure it's the same one you're using and let me know if you still have problems.

Sorry - latest version shows the error.

The latest grsecurity patch I meant. I've included a fix for the compile issue. It'll be fixed as well in the next PaX patch when it's released.
