Hi
I need to add XFS support to Red Hat 9's 2.4.20-8. (see below for why this
version only)
The patches on SGI's site don't go back to 2.4.20, I have some old patches that
I used on (original, not RedHat) kernel 2.4.20 but these fail to
patch on RedHat's source.
Searching this list I see this has been covered and solved by:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.2/installer/forRH-9.0-SGI-XFS-1.2.0-v1.iso
and:
ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/RH-XFS-DVD
but neither of these files are available there now.
I have found a patched up rpm for 2.4.20-20.9 but this is no good, I need
2.4.20-8.
Any pointers to rpms/patches/kernel sources would be most helpful, thanks.
Why do I need 2.4.20-8? I have a Highpoint SATA card, they only have
closed-source drivers for this card and they only provide modules for a few RH9
(and debian I think) releases, the latest of which is 2.4.20-8. The module
fails with unresolved SCSI symbols for every variation of the official
kernel 2.4.20 I've tried (even without XFS patched in), and with the
2.4.20-20.9 XFS RPMs I found.
If there's a workaround here I would take that option too...
Thanks
Neil
