Claes Lindblom asked:
Where can I get working patches for the latest kernel 2.6.18.x?

Atsushi SAKAI replied:
It is better to see FC6 SRPM.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/

So, I downloaded this SRPM and applied all the patches. I modified buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen to say:
   LINUX_VER    = 2.6.18.3
then "make world"
I get lots of errors about duplicate definitions, e.g. alt_instr and LOCK_PREFIX from
 linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/asm-x86_64/mach-xen/asm/system.h
I tried fixing those piecemeal, but the hits just keep on coming. Should I not be using 2.6.18.3 ? Is there some other magic incantation I need? Sorry for what's probably a newb question, but I did search the archives and googled all over first. I'm trying 2.8.18.1 in parallel with this email, but my confidence is not high. I have spent a while on this already, but I am running out of time. I'm racing the deadline for getting out a paper on Myrinet performance over Xen (it's very good so far with 3.0.3 on 2.6.16) for the IEEE conference in June.

thanks in advance,
-reese
