Hi, 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 ( http://www.linuximq.net/patches.html), but this causes the kABI to break. What can orshould I do about this, if anything? 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? Is the kABI for CentOS the same as the one for the upstream RHEL version? Should I try to patch the kABI (as Oracle does in their unbreakable linux kernel)? What would be the procedure foir this? I understand you can't help me with the patches or the kernel itself, but I was hoping you might help me understand the kABI well enough that I can handle things for there. Thanks very much. -- *Mike SCHMIDT **CTO Intello Technologies Inc. **mike.schmidt at intello.com* *Canada: 1-888-404-6261 x320 USA: 1-888-404-6268 x320 Mobile: 514-409-6898 www.intello.com* * * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
