The TrueFFS Linux driver package contains three different folders: + Documentation: this contains a PDF document describing the various functions of TrueFFS. + dformat_5_1_4_37: this contains a utility dformat, which is used to update the firmware on the DiskOnChip (DOC) and to create low level partitions on the DOC. + doc-linux-5_1_4_20: this contains patches, initrd scripts and other utilities. 3. Now apply the patch to the kernel. We will use the linux-2_4_7-patch file that is present in linux_binary.5_1_4/doc-linux-5_1_4_20/driver. The following commands are used for this purpose: cd linux_binary.5_1_4/doc-linux-5_1_4_20/driver patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux < linux-2_4_7-patch This will create a directory named doc in the linux/drivers/block directory. [/quote] Okay, so do I have to install the 5.1.4 DOC driver to make the DOC2000 work with 2.6.22.1??? Should I back up to 2.4.18 like the howto says? Andy
