I do this because everything in /lib/modules/XXX/kernel/* gets clobbered when you do a make modules_install from the kernel source tree; any module not part of the source tree is deleted. That's why external modules really don't belong in the /lib/modules/XXX/kernel/* tree -- IMHO. Of course, this will eventaully be moot, when/if the SBS stuff actually gets put into the kernel. I have recently realized that the whole SBS functionality can be implemented in terms of control methods in the DSDT, without the need for any kernel drivers. It may be interesting to have a shot at implementing the SBS this way, and then making some sort of autopatch script which adds the SBS code to a supplied DSDT. cheers, Rich ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
