Hi,

Come to think of it, I still don't have an answer. I compiled a new kernel 
with the COMPAT_LINUX option. However, when I type in sysctl -w xxxxxxx, I 
get a message stating that the said variable doesn't have a value despite 
my attempts to assign a value to it. Is there something else I should be 
doing?
