hello there,

i am keen to do a little bit of kernel programming, but i don't really
know where to start... i have programmed in c for a few years now in
mostly numerical stuff, and i think i could write a device driver if i
really needed to, what would some people reccomend reading before
starting?... i'd be keen to have a pet project of maybe totally
replacing an essential component (just as practice not to make it better
or anything!)

also, my kernel always says "Unknown Bridge Resource 2: Assuming
Transparent" on bootup, why would it be doing this? I have accounted for
everything on my system in the compile

thanks in advance!
Sam

Well why don't you find out what this means and what you could do about
it ? An excellent starting point, no ?

Anyway, visit http://kernelnewbies.org/ which amongst other things has a
large selection of links, and a suitable mailing list

Hello all ,

I am working in squid developments oriented works.Then at presently 
i  want to upgrade my kernel to 2.6 for epoll support testing on 
Squid.


For that i have upgrade my gcc and i have tried to  compiled the 
kernel ,but i am getting some errors on kernel-2.6.0-test3 on IA64 
with ia64 linux patch.


The problem is as 
HOSTCC  scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o
In file included from scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c:24:
scripts/lxdialog/dialog.h:29:20: curses.h: No such file or 
directory
In file included from scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c:24:
scripts/lxdialog/dialog.h:127: error: parse error before 
"use_colors"
And so many error and warning so what is the problem in this.

I have browsed for this problem but i didn't get the answers for 
that.

SO pls inform about this/.

Thanks

It seems you're missing the curses library :

http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html

You don't need 2.6 to test epoll though :
