Re: Latest Kernel
I found the newly kernel has something wrong here: drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_sds.c on the line 984 offset not initilized, which the kernel will complains, treated as error.

Which kernel are you referring to? If it is kernel-ml, it's better taking it to the ELRepo mailing list or even bugzilla.kernel.org. Akemi

Re: Latest Kernel
I think maybe you should learn more about building from SRPM's. IIt's OK, we were all new once! I urge you to take the SRPM and use something like thisk: rpm -U kernel-[version].src.rpm rpmbuild -ba ~/buildrpm/SPECS/kernel.spec This builds it once, with all the published packages reported if missing, and all the patches and any extra source files in ~/buildrpm/SOURCES/. Red Hat elects to tweak some parameters, to include some moduels as built-in and others as modules and to pull in tome patches from more recent kernels to apply on older, more stable kernels. This will get those patches applied for you. IF you need to patch your kernel, you cna then write it into a modified SRPM and have an actual, managed kernel with all the RPM based post and pre steps to integrate it well with your system.

Re: About the time sync for linux guest under vmware of windows xp host
It sounds like your network on the VMware side isn't configured correctly.Also you should always use VMware tools to sync your time instead of NTP on VMware virtual machines.VMWare hypervisor plays games with the clock on purpose and can cause a VM with NTP enabled to behave erratically.-- Sent from my HP Pre3On Sep 1, 2013 8:44, taozhijiang taozhiji...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I just install my SL carbon 6.4 under vmware environment for kernel study, but found the system time runs much faster than the host.

I will frequently change my kernel, so everytime I may reinstall the vmware-tools, which will really make me mad. In effect, I can do it with contrab through some public internet ntp time server, for example update the time and write to hwclock every minute, it really works fine. But sometime I may not have access to the internet, so when offline, the guest time will not be updated correctly, and when next time update time with outside ntp time server, everything will go wrong. I really want the vmware guest will fellow the time of host,. Any idea? I am so tired and out of hand ;-(
