I do not know. At least can we add ifdefs in the existing patches to detect distro kernels? Can you do ifdef kernel version >= 2.6.18-92 so we at least do not need to have multiple distro patches? > >> I also think you might have sent the wrong patch, or I was not sure what >> you were trying to fix. >> >> The problem I hit with distro kernels like RHEL are the following: >> >> 1.

I messed up and used something slightly off 2.6.18-92, so it did not get patched right. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
