Hi, <br><br>I've generated (via rpmbuild) a patched version of the latest CentoS 6.2 kernel (2.6.32-220.7.1) with the imq patchset (<a href="http://www.linuximq.net/patches.html" target="_blank">http://www.linuximq.net/patches.html</a>), but this causes the kABI to break. What can orshould I do about this, if anything? <br>
What kinds of changes cause the kABI to break? Would it be reasonable to think I might be able to fix the patch to be kABI compliant?<br>Is the kABI for CentOS the same as the one for the upstream RHEL version? <br>Should I try to patch the kABI (as Oracle does in their unbreakable linux kernel)? What would be the procedure foir this? <br>
