Hi, I am currently using RedHat 7.2+updates on several servers. This includes the 2.4.20-18.7smp i686 kernel. I have no option but to use RedHat...please don't suggest Gentoo or something else. I would like to try EVMS, but I am having trouble patching the kernel source. The first step is Device-Mapper. As I am no Kernel hacking expert, is there anyone who has a recipe for how to make Device-Mapper work with this kernel. I don't think DM is already installed in the kernel as it is not an option in make menuconfig. I appreciate any help.
