Ext3 users - Oct 2000 - No PCMCIA Support?

I see that the ext3 kernel being used is an enterprise kernel which
doesn''t build the PCMCIA modules generally.  Any chance of getting the
SRPM so that testing on a laptop can actually be possible?  It''s too
much fun to have  a laptop and just hit the power button and not have to
fsck:)

QOTD:
Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.

I''ve asked about the SRPM situation but if you want to run your own
kernel, the easy way for now is to pull the ext3 patches themselves
from

	ftp.*.kerne.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/

The "0.0.3b" tarball is the one we''re using in the current
beta, and
it patches cleanly against 2.2.17.  For 2.2.18-current you''ll need a
one-liner patch: the easiest way to get it to build is to add an

	#include <linux/ext2_fs.h>

to the top of linux/fs/ext3/super.c once you have patched ext3 into
the kernel.

And yes, ext3 on a laptop rules.  :-)
