Hi,
Looks promising:
./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c.rej
./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci.h.rej
OK. The patch isn't expected to solve the
problem
completely. The Linux USB developers would like to be
cc'ed on any future bug reports.
Huh. How can I do so without being a subscriber of the kernel
mailing list?
Except, OTOH,
I did something wrong when patching (sorry
for my ignorance). Can I somehow check if the patch has
been applied successfully by probing the current running
kernel? A location in /proc probably?
You can edit the Makefile and append something to the
EXTRAVERSION. Then, after applying the patch, check for
rejects like this:
$ find -name \*rej If you get no output, go ahead and compile the
kernel,
install it, and reboot. Then run:
$ uname -r
vi /usr/src/linux/Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 12
EXTRAVERSION =-rc1-ce
uname -r
2.6.12-rc1-ce
Seems I've been successful compiling and installing the
kernel. Thanks for the help!
If it shows the string you appended to EXTRAVERSION,
you
are indeed running the patched kernel.
Yes, seems to be running, and there are surely xruns!
Well, the xruns are bad, but I'm happy to have the patched
kernel running, regardless that the bugs are still
there ;-) .
Thanks a lot & best regards
