kernel

• What is different in 2.6 kernels.
• current defined in many kernel modules is a pointer to task_struct, the latter is defined in linux/sched.h
• schedule_task(): keventd has not started on the early stage of booting means that the kernel scheduler (?) tries to launch something before keventd was started. Most probably is transient and not a big deal.
• If getting unknown symbol change_page_attr while loading a module, this is because this function has been removed in 2.6.25 kernel. It can be remedied by reimplementing this function, see for example notes on building the snd_intel8x0 alsa driver.
• how to patch headers in 2.6.25 kernel to compile under g++ (needed for vmware)
• if, when compiling some kernel module, one get bogosity like
  modpost: GPL-incompatible module osslinux.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'usb_submit_urb',
  modify appropriately scripta/mod/modpost.c under the kernel source tree.
