Re: [SSI-users] How to patch a vanilla kernel ?

[Brian J. W. <Bri...@hp...>]

Hello Patrizio,

It can be very challenging to adapt the OpenSSI kernel patch to another 
kernel. It is a task that is only appropriate for one of the experienced 
OpenSSI developers, and it can be rather time-consuming. For that 
reason, the 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl kernel from Fedora Core 1 is probably the 
last 2.4 base for OpenSSI. In the future, the primary development focus 
will be the 2.6-based kernel that is part of the recent OpenSSI 1.9.0 
development release.

The panic with ReiserFS and CFS can be fixed in the 2.4 kernel if there 
is sufficient user demand for this feature (please speak up if you want 
it fixed), and it's not too difficult to do so. Otherwise, it can be 
fixed in the new 2.6 kernel.

Hope this helps explain things.

Regards,

Brian
