I'm forced to used 2.4.22 because this is the latest kernel version that openss7 supports for their sctp implementation. I already tried 2.4.31 but I'm having problems with threaded programs. They kept on crashing on a newly compiled 2.4.x kernel. Anyways, I'm already using 2.6.12.5 kernel so I don't have to worry about sctp, sata, and thread problems anymore. =) Richard Adams wrote: >On Wednesday 17 August 2005 08:38, Franklin Chua wrote: > > >>Hello All, >> >> Anybody who knows what bk## stands for and what does it mean in this >>kernel patch? >>Thanks. >> >> 2.4.22-bk14-libata1.patch.bz2 >> >> > >I belive the BK is an alias for jgarzik, the person who wrote the code for VIA >SATA support. >The number 14 would be the patch serial number, ie, the 14th patch he wrote >for libata support. > >All his patches can be found at; >kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/ > >On another note if you intend to use the above patch one can only advise you >to update your kernel to 2.4.31, its the latest kernel with support for SATA >VIA, which the patch above concerns, in other words all jgarzik's work is >included in that kernel so no need to patch anything. > > > >>Regards >> >> >> > >-- >Regards Richard. > > > > > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
