[coLinux-users] Rolling your own kernel

[Christopher D. C. <c.d...@re...>]

Hi,

I am trying to get autofs working under fc8 and coLinux.
Autofs is complaining that it is missing a kernel module autofs4.
Ok, I thought I will need to add it into the kernel.

Following the instruction in the FAQ (http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/CoLinux_FAQ#Q19._How_do_I_build_my_own_kernel_for_coLinux.3F)

I downloaded the latest stable source ball for coLinux and the kernel source for 2.6.22 from kernel.org
Untar'd them both and cd'd into /usr/src/linux

When trying the line "patch -p1 < (extraction-point)/colinux-20040529/patch/linux" /patch/linux is not found and if I try to do the 2.6.22 diff files by hand I get as far as "cobd-2.6.22.diff" and if fails saying there is no "drivers/block/cobd.c", which indeed there is not.

I short, I'm lost


Any clues much appreciated.

Cheers
  Chris
