I wish more people knew about UML as a means of learning about how kernels work. I may be overlooking something, but as far as I can tell it is not currently possible to apply any of the SKAS patches to 2.6. The host-skas3.patch patch has several conflicts when applied to 2.6. I attempted to manually port host-skas3.patch to 2.6, but I ran into a missing file or function (unfortunately I can remember what it was). Also, it is not obvious what host-skas-2.6.0-test1.diff should be applied to. It seems to somehow depend on code added by the host-skas3.patch patch, but first applying the host-skas3.patch patch is not sufficient. If someone could regenerate host-skas-2.6.0-test1.diff such that it can be applied to a straight 2.6 kernel that would be very helpful. Right now I'll assume that there are some technical problems with porting SKAS to 2.6, so it is not just a simple matter of shuffling code from the host-skas3.patch patch to the corresponding place in 2.6. Also, my experience has been that debugging with GDB works better when SKAS mode is used. So, you might want to mention that in either the SKAS page or the debugging page. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steven Elliott | selliott4@austin.rr.com | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
