I tried to look at kernel-source-2.6.27.7-9.1.i586.rpm, which I found at
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/i586/ , but the
rpm version that came with the distro that I am using refuses to install it.
I see this error message:
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic
As of this writing, I still haven't seen what is inside the .rpm file, and I
don't know what version of rpm will open it. :(
Can you, or someone else, post a bzip2 compressed diff of kernel.org
2.6.27.7 -> Suse 2.6.27.7-9 in some place? It is faster that way, as I don't
plan to sort out the rpm mess today.
There is a download redirector to a mirror in place, and you cought a
defective file, maybe incompletely transferred to the mirror. This really
is bad luck, as it should install the package without hassles.
The (unified) diff between the kernels you mention is quite large - in
the area of 20MB. Instead, I have attached the diff of
include/linux/bio.h only.
Is this something I can easily fix?
Loop code in loop-AES-v3.2e adapts to different bio struct on 2.6.28 kernel
and later. What happens if you change those version dependent #if statements
to enable the new code on 2.6.27 kernel? You can do this by changing 0x2061c
constants to 0x2061b . Something like this:
sed -i -e 's/0x2061c/0x2061b/' loop.c-2.6.patched
But that is likely to fail, because 2.6.27 -> 2.6.28 changes involved other
changes to block layer interfaces.
Ack.
Thanks,
Roman.
