Neal,
For a 2.6.32 kernel you'll need to apply the following patches to BLCR
0.8.2:
https://upc-bugs.lbl.gov/blcr-dist/blcr-0.8.2+kernel-2.6.31.patch01
https://upc-bugs.lbl.gov/blcr-dist/blcr-0.8.2+kernel-2.6.32.patch02
Among them is a change to how the System.map file is "validated" that I
suspect addresses your immediate problem.
If you still have problems, let me know.
I already know that we have both configure-time and compile-time
"issues" with 2.6.33. It is possible those same problems may be present
in a 2.6.32.9 kernel (either vanilla or Fedora). I do have patches for
all the configure-time and compile-time issues in 2.6.33, but the
resulting kernel modules hang during "make check" - so I've not released
any patches for 2.6.33. So, any configure or compile failure you
encounter on 2.6.32.9-fc12 may already have am UNTESTED OR UNSAFE fix
available from my development tree. Let me know what you find.
