Hi, I've researched it a little bit more and find out that the patches are not applied in that kernel, only the entry points are there. The actual code is not there.
A simple test that is published in that website throws ENOSYS epoll_create: Function not implemented /arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: .long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall) /* sys_epoll_create */ /arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: .long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall) /* sys_epoll_ctl 255 */ /arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: .long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall) /* sys_epoll_wait */ As u see sys_ni_syscall handle it ... Thanks, Kobi.
