Great. Please keep us posted. If the patches work as expected, they will be a worthy addition to the cplus kernel. I got a kernel built with the patches using the wiki and your notes in 0004586 (thanks). I am pleased to report that they appear to work as advertised. With: net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 2 net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 2
Router solicitations were issued and router advertisements were accepted and I could still forward packets.
Glad to hear things worked. Now that a new c6 kernel update is out, I will try and see if I could include the patches to this version ( 2.6.32-71.24.1 ).
I didn't make new patches, I simply did %define with_fuzzy_patches 1
Never used it. Is it "safe" to do that?
As a general rule probably not. I did examine the result of the patched files and verified they looked OK. I guess I could cp'ed the files that were affected, then applied the patch by hand then ran gendiff against the new and the old to get a new patch, but in the end it is the same thing, other than having to turn on with_fuzzy_patches.
Also what should the normal rpmbuild line be? I ended up doing rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec --with firmware --without debug --without debuginfo
The first time I didn't have --with firmware and the kernel wouldn't install.
Yes, C6 kernels require kernel-firmware. I build it with --target noarch.
Good to know.
