Hi, kernel-package supports kernel patches, as I learned short time ago. But IMO, it lacks the documentation for this. If i understand correctly: - patches go into /usr/src/kernel-patches/$arch/$version/apply. - If "PATCH_THE_KERNEL" is set, patches are automatically applied on make-kpkg. But h

Does anyone know if the fs in Grub allows the kernel to load his necessary fs as modules? I.e. if Grub contains a an ext2 fs, can the kernel load modules from this file system even if the ext2 fs isn't compiled into the kernel? Or since the fs in Grub probably also needs the corresponding drivers
