Those who've followed my recent questions will have noticed that I am

My latest idea to try to resolve this is to build different versions
of the sata_piix, libata and the others (I think there are four).
Despite the Jones Boy's claim, I'm sticking to the "it's a kernel bug"
thesis.
Currently I have a 2.6.24 kernel that works, and I can point my figner
all the the 2.6.25 kernels and assert they don't.
I've built kernels before, that's no problem. What I want to do this
time is to take some kernel modules from the source tree for 2.6.24
and build them against a 2.6.25 kernel.
I'm aware that instructions exist for building out-of-tree modules,
but I don't know whether they work for modules currently in the source
tree.
Any insights?
Why not take one of the latest rawhide kernel srpms, let rpmbuild prep
the source tree, then swap out the module code you want to try from
2.6.24, putting it in the tree, and then try building within that tree?
It's an idea, unless someone comes up with a better one I'll probably do
it. In the meantime, there's another kernel.
btw Is there a way to tell yumdownloader which source to get? it seems
only capable of getting the latest.
Oh, there's only nearly another kernel. I've got the source, not the
binaries.
