Ok Michael, turns out the win2000 failure was a silly mistake. So, after checking the code and going trough light testing, I applied this patchset http://autotest.kernel.org/changeset/3553 http://autotest.kernel.org/changeset/3554 http://autotest.kernel.org/changeset/3555 http://autotest.kernel.org/changeset/3556 Sudhir, perhaps you can try the upstream tree starting with r3556. It has all the changes you have asked for earlier (rss and stuff). In order to get things all set, I suggest: 1) Create a directory with the following contents: [...@freedom rss]$ ls -l total 52 -rwxrwxr-x. 1 lmr lmr 42038 2009-08-17 18:55 rss.exe -rw-rw-r--. 1 lmr lmr 517 2009-08-17 18:57 rss.reg -rw-rw-r--. 1 lmr lmr 972 2009-08-17 18:57 setuprss.bat Those can be found under client/tests/kvm/deps directory on the most current autotest tree. 2) Create an iso from it: genisoimage -o rss.iso -max-iso9660-filenames -relaxed-filenames -D --input-charset iso8859-1 rss 3) Put rss.iso under your windows iso directory. 4) Profit :) If you want to compile the latest rss, you could try numerous things, here are some possible routes: 1) Compile it under a windows host with mingw installed 2) Compile it under Fedora 12 with the cross compile environment installed, you need to install at least these through yum: mingw32-w32api mingw32-gcc-c++ mingw32-gcc And then do a: i686-pc-mingw32-g++ rss.cpp -lws2_32 -mwindows -o rss.exe I hope that was helpful. After this patch-applying spree, I gotta a *lot* of documentation to write to our wiki :) Cheers, Lucas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
