I'm running 2.4.10-xfs on Potato and Sid machines. I patched my kernel(s) like this: bzcat <xfs-patch>.bz2 | patch -p1 following the instructions from here: http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO-6.html Works nicely for me. After a successful patch I run the make <option> of choice and XFS is listed as a supported file system. Once configured make-kpkg is your friend. I've not seen or used the "patch_the_kernel" option you've mentioned and others elaborated on. Sounds ;ike I should check it out though :) -- Cheers, Craige. http://mcwhirter.com.au/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
