Hi, We've remade the kmod patch so it works with 2.1.88:
http://www.muppetlabs.com/linux/patches/kmod_patch9
For those of you that don't know, kmod...
- is a kernel thread that execve()s modprobe when a module is requested, and removes unused modules after /proc/sys/kernel/kmod_unload_delay seconds - has a much smaller kernel resident part than kerneld - has *no* userland part - removes the gross kerneld/ipc hack (eventually sysv ipc will be a module) - requires the user to make *no* changes (unless they choose to remove kerneld, that is)
We are anxious to hear your feadback.
