Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - Question about kernels and kernel patches
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:21:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1168482074.14791.7.camel@camille.espersunited.com> (raw)
I own a copy of Win4Lin 5.0 for Windows 9x. I'd like to use it, but the
problem is that the newest patch for SMP kernels that they offer is
2.6.11. I'm running 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 . I like the newer kernels
because ivtv drivers that work with them are in portage, and I'm not
sure drivers that work with 2.6.11 are still in portage. Not to mention
I like not having to worry about alsa-driver (in the 2.6.18 kernel,
kernel support for my sound card works; it didn't prior to 2.6.18.) I
have the kernel source tarball for the 2.6.11 kernel, and I have the
patches for Win4Lin for that kernel. Is it possible for me to unpack
the kernel source, apply the Win4Lin patches, and then patch that kernel
all the way up to 2.6.18?
