EzTerry's Ramblings's TrackBacks http://devnull.name/blog/software/kernelUpgrade <p>So recently I installed a new SATA dvd burner in my workstation (as both previous optical drives died)</p> <p>Unfortunately 2.6.18 (my previous kernel) did not support SATA optical drives, so it was time to upgrade. The only unfortunate part is I use UML to allow some tasks to be sandboxed, and to run these with any efficiency I require the skas3 patch. However the newest <a href="http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/skas3-2.6/">official patch</a> is for 2.6.20.</p> <p>However I did eventually seem to have find everything needed thus now both skas3-v8.2 and my SATA drive are both running on a 2.6.23.11 kernel.</p> <hr /> To help others out here is what I found/created:<br /> My patch for <a href="http://devnull.name/code/skas3-v8.2-ez-2.6.23.11.patch.gz">skas3-v8.2</a> for linux <a href="http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.11.tar.gz">2.6.23.11</a>.<br /> Please see the <a href="http://devnull.name/code/notes_skas3-v8.2-ez-2.6.23.11.txt">notes</a> for more details. <hr />Note as this is just a update to the original v8.2 patch this only supports 32bit x86 systems.<br /> If you require AMD-64 support please see this <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05553.html">thread</a> for more information.
