Has anyone been able to work out how the RH7.1 kernel that Netraverse supply was built? I had hassles rebuilding my NVidia driver to work with the Win4Lin kernel, so I got a bit elaborate. First, I applied the patch to the sources in the kernel-source RPM, copied the i386 config from the configs directory, turned on CONFIG_MKI and built. I didn't get the same kernel. About 5k smaller. What other changes did Netraverse make that aren't in the patch? I recall seeing something on this list about the Mandrake kernel being changed as well (Reiserfs moving from a module to a builtin, wasn't it?). Is this the "right" thing to do? Can we get full details on the kernel build procedures from somewhere? Either that or the full source that these kernels are built from? In the meantime, if anyone wants matching source and kernel sets ... I eventually hacked up the default Redhat 7.1 kernel source RPM, and added the Win4Lin patches to the spec file. It built perfectly, and is running on my machine quite happily. The ONLY change from the defualt RH kernel is the Win4Lin patch. I built my NVidia driver against the new kernel-source RPM and it works fine. The full results of this little experiment are at: ftp://discord.maths.monash.edu.au/pub/win4lin SRPM, and i386 RPMs built from it are all there, if you're obsessive about having everything on your machine "match". I know I am. Obsessive-compulsive tendencies, you see ... :) Blah, blah, works for me, blah, blah, may kill your pets, blah, blah, no warranty.
