asr-utils not working with 5.3 release

[Oliver Velten]

Hi,

thanks for your info this is a really a great info.

So I checked my system and I built my kernel on Sat Feb 19 22:49:13 CET 2005
and therefore I can't have the latest asr.c from the 2005/03/22 17:22:05 in
my kernel.

I will rebuild a kernel and see if it work... :-)

Bye,
Oliver
