Re: porting a driver from 2.4 to 2.6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm having problems porting my modules from Mandrake  
8 (2.4.8) to Mandrake 9.2 (2.4.22). I'm running the
enterprise kernel as I have a lot of RAM and I'm
running the machine as a testbed for a
high-availability server (which will need the
enterprise kernel), and it appears the new kernel
build system has been back-ported into later 2.4
kernels. I can't find the enterprise kernel sources. I
have the source RPM, and I guess I will need to do a
rpm --rebuild, but I'm not sure if there are any
options that need to be paseed to make this work
correctly. Can anyone help? I've tried talking to
Mandrake but no response so far.

Best Wishes
