I am a total newbie but I managed to compile a ne= w=20 kernel with your patch: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1 Then I did: server:/boot # mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1 2.6.8-1 =46atal: Module megaraid2 not found. Warning: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!=20 but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into the = kernel. Does this mean, that you patch is not working or did I make a mistake?
