OK, I've asked this question four weeks in a row and received no response whatsoever. Linux is supposed to be the OS where you can turn to the newsgroups/IRC and get able help. This is to those who couldn't lift a finger to help with this compile/driver problem: Thanks for nothing, you arrogan

Only udf I could find that was compatible with kernel 2.4.2 was the udf-0.9.3 tarball. It does have a 2.4 directory. I am restricted in which kernel I can use, as I must have a patch for fibrechannel. My compile craps out with the listing below; I can't make any sense out of it. I have used

Many thanks Jim. Now at least I have a way. But I caution others that Linux modifies the UDF filesystem somehow, so that Winders can no longer understand it. I nearly lost all my music & photo archives to this. And attempts to rm or mv on a DVDRAM with UDF cause it to segfault & jam up. The

This was my point... Mohammad WAS the only one to help and not criticize. I did not pass along the crap I got from the 'bad attitudes', like Jasper Jans, Mark Hahn, & Paul Dunne. All grief, no guidance nor respect. Tough to be a newbie. -- C. The best way out is always through. - Robert

So no one is willing or able to help me with this problem? I have invested much time and effort toward switching from Win2k to Linux, but if I can't get fibrechannel working it's not going to happen. Applying the patch & compiling went fine. But the new kernel doesn't recognize the FC host a
