This kernel is ancient, even if you meant 2.6.29-rc8 like you said originally. And it is not even an actual release version (e.g. 2.6.29). I could be wrong, but I doubt there will be much interest among the people here in working on the internals of such an old kernel. Is there some reason you can't try something newer? 2.6.34 was just released... Good luck! John -- John W.
