SUBJECT: RE: 2.4/2.5 kernel?

Quote: msporny
-----------------------------------------------
There isn't much progress towards a 2.4 kernel, mainly because the 2.2.21 kernel is so stable and fits the needs of 95% of the developer community. That is not to say that we shouldn't upgrade to the 2.4 kernel, but people aren't as driven to do that.
-----------------------------------------------


By chance, has the xRhino team looked at the available 2.4 kernel code found on ps2hacking.sourceforge.net (Mainly on their CVS Repository)?

This group, whomever it is, seems to have gotten a 2.4.8 kernel that looks like it has PS2 support ready for it. It's not a complete kernel tree, they pretty much axed the other architectures. It doesn't look like anything has been contributed lately, but if xRhino is looking at some starting point for a 2.4.x based kernel (if they haven't realdy started), this looks like a really good starting point.
