Perhaps that could be a good starting point for you -- try to look what has changed between 2.4 and 2.6 and what tests should be updated in what way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
