Yeah, i know, but i managed to get that one going, and if i remember well, the 2.4.27 patch applied fine on the debian kernel-source. > I've tried to find an already nubus-patched kernel tree but that > doesn't seem to excist. wrong :) kernel-source-2.4.27 and kernel-patch-2.4.27-nubus should do the trick. > Is it possible to identify the developer of a kernel?

No idea, but i doubt it is meaningfull to go hunting after a the history of a given binary kernel, it is more constructive to start from the existing source code in the debian kernel. Did you try the sarge -nubus kernel at all ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
