kernels, kernels everywhere :). There's also kernel.org, which works on PPC much of the time, until someone breaks PPC support in changing somthing else. > but... my real question > > on the ppckernel.org page it says all this good stuff about the ibook > optimised benh kernel, and i want to take advantage of that. is it > possible to build this kernel almost the same, except with the addition > of xfs and hfs+ modules? > I don't really know anything about an "ibook optimized" kernel. I use BenH's stable rsync tree. You could probably apply my xfs patches to this ibook kernel source, but you may need to modify them. My xfs and supermount patches are sort of tied together, so if you want to break out supermount, you'll have some work to do there (or just disiable it in the kernel config). The hfs+ patches I know zero about. Most folks just make an hfs partition if they want to share between to 2 OS's. Again, that patch may or may not apply cleanly to whatever kernel source you choose to use. Depending on your level of experience, reworking/applying patches to the kernel source will be the biggest piece of what you're trying to accomplish.
