Re: kmod not for 2.1

What are the list of issues to change to the latest LINUX kernel?

Those of you who are not familiar with kmod here's an explanation from the
2ed of the LINUX device driver book from O'Reilly ...
http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch11.html#t1

*..."The idea behind kmod is simple, yet effective. Whenever the kernel
tries to access certain types of resources and finds them unavailable, it
makes a special kernel call to the kmod subsystem instead of simply
returning an error. If kmod succeeds in making the resource available by
loading one or more modules, the kernel continues working; otherwise, it
returns the error..."*


Here's more information from IBM Developer-Work about LINUX Kernel Modules,
LKMs...
http://ibm.co/8VOn2k

...or it is KMOD <http://www.kmod.com/main.html>, a radio station 97.5 in
Tulsa, Oklahoma USA whose racy front page tells you they know nothing about
the LINUX kernel ... and for that matter not much of anything.

Cheers,

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
