I don't use kernel 2.2 ;-) And i want to use kernel 2.4 > 2.4.9. This does not work for now, cause there are no patches available for this. I have started to make them running, but this is work that has to be done every time the kernel people change stuff in the affected parts, and i am sure, they will. So my solution would be to port the patch to kernel 2.4.14 or make something like an small initrd.gz which would work for all kernel (2.4 at least), and put in harddisk/cdrom support (i use flashdisks)... > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
