Hi, Netraverse is working in support to the wolk-kernel, but for the moment only vailla-kernel is officially supported by netraverse. So some of the "special" kernels in sys-kernel have the win4lin patch and functional, for example gs-sources (i use it every day). gs-sources have too a lot of nice patch and features like low-latency or preemtive... so i think that it have all you want. regards I have the gs-sources installed on my system, but after running make menuconfig inside the gs-sources dir I find out that it doesnt have supermount. all of my config files (especially /etc/fstab are setup for supermount. add supermount to gs-sources and or wolk-sources and I will be just as happy. I'd also like to see more support for win4lin-sources kernel. Primarily I need evms2 support since recently after switching to Gentoo (from SuSE) I put all my partitions on EVMS2 volumes and win4lin-sources does not support it. I have contacted Netraverse support, but they directed me to ask Gentoo people for support since " ... Gentoo developers actually do all of the development and support of the Gentoo Win4Lin-enabled sources." Sincerely, Gour All help will be well received. So i think that the gs-kernel have all features needed. If you miss some featured, please tell me. try the new gs-sources version I would like to add my support to the request for increased Win4Lin support, particularly with the 2.6 kernel. I would like to see the Win4Lin patches included in the gentoo-dev-sources. If necessary, a local USE flag could be used to control if the Win4Lin patches are applied. these ideas are very nice :) so i'm not part of the kernel herd. Please reassing this bug to kernel herd. I reassing this to the gentoo-dev-sources guy. regards Where are these patches located at? And why are they not part of the mainline kernel? Closing due to lack of info |
