I have two sacrificial lambs -- one is an SMP box, the other one''s a laptop, but I don''t see kernel-smp or kernel-pcmcia-cs packages. So, can I use the ext3 patch on an SMP box or a laptop? -- Sam

For the laptop, the i686 rpm I built this afternoon is up at http://katz.linuxpower.org/rpms/kernel-2.2.17-5.i686.rpm. It "works for me", but I haven''t tested it that hard yet. The kernel-pcmcia-cs package from 7.0 itself works fine for me Cheers, Jeremy -- Jeremy Katz katzj@linuxpower.org | jlkatz@eos.ncsu.edu http://linuxpower.org | Developer, NCSU Realm Kit for Red Hat Linux GPG fingerprint: 367E 8B6B 5E57 2BDB 972A 4D73 C83C B4E8 89FE 392D QOTD: You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all alike.

It might be easier for me to simply rebuild from the source RPM. -- Sam

You can patch ext3 into your own kernel for pcmcia, and I''ll see about getting that done in an official rpm at some point. Cheers, Stephen
