Unmodified drivers and 2.6.27

Unmodified drivers and 2.6.27

[AP]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 334 bytes --]

I am trying to compile the old unmodified_drivers against the 2.6.27
kernel.  I remember SUSE having patches that made this work but I am unable
to find them online. They are being referenced here (
http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=653) but the link doesn't work anymore. Are
these patches still floating around somewhere?

Thanks,
AP

Give SLE11_BRANCH a try on http://kernel.opensuse.org/git.

If you don't get from there what you need, I'm afraid you're
on your own, as that code stream has been dead for quite
some time.

Thanks for the pointer. The closest thing I can find to 2.6.27 is the
tag rpm-2.6.30-8. So I moved to it and started checking out the
patches.xen directory. Is there something that tells me the order in
which these patches should be applied?

There may not be any tags for this old branch, but I'm sure you'd
also find 2.6.27 bits there. In fact, using the tag is almost certain
getting you something in arbitrary state, not from any SLE branch...

There's a series.conf file at the root of the tree.

OK, I switched to SLE11-SP2 branch.

Thank you. That was very helpful. Now on to patching hell...
