Conexant drivers from Linuxant also requires >4KConexant drivers from Linuxant also requires >4KPosted Sep 8, 2005 17:56 UTC (Thu) by astrand (guest, #4908)Parent article: 4K stacks for everyone?
On my laptop with the ICH6 chipset, which is running FC4, I'm using the HSF softmodem driver from Linuxant. After many kernel panics, I found out that this driver doesn't work with 4K stacks. I replaced the kernel with a version from Linuxant and now things works, but some drawbacks remains:
* I won't recieve any kernel updates via "yum"
* I cannot use the NTFS drivers from Livna.
To sum up, this problem has been boring and frustrating. I don't care if the kernel is a few percents slower, as long as things works...

Well its not really a question of speed. Many kernel updates fix security issues. Custom ones will have to rebuild everytime. For filesystems, FUSE has recently been merged in the upstream kernel and will be included in 2.6.14 version. So it might be possible to use a pure user space solution which wouldnt potentially break with every new kernel update

You can easily rebuild the kernel-module-ntfs.srpm from livna. See:
