 # <a name="Current_Project"> Current Project </a>
 
 I am currently working on updating the OSKit's Linux drivers. The OSKit is currently at Linux version 2.2.12 for most of the drivers. My objective is to upgrade from 2.2.12 to 2.2.21 plus the ATA-100 patches for Linux 2.2.19.
 
-What motivates me the most is my Promise ATA-100 controller. It prevents me from running the Hurd on my SMP machine. (Even though I now have rigged another machine for my testing efforts ...)

 ## <a name="Update_OSKit_Linux_drivers"> </a> Update OSKit Linux drivers
 
-I have forked. I will now work on two paths:
-
-1. Patch ALL Linux drivers, patch by patch, from 2.2.12 to 2.2.13 etc. up to 2.2.21
-2. Continue my work on patching only the IDE stuff.

-The stock Linux drivers in the OSKit is at version 2.2.12. Therefore the first patch to the OSKit contains patches to bring it up to 2.2.13, hence the name.

+1. The patches are **NOT** incremental!
+2. The patches only update existing drivers, they don't add support for new ones.
 
-NOTE! New drivers added in regular Linux patches are **NOT** added to the OSKit in this round. The updates are masked against the Linux drivers already present in the latest release of the OSKit. When I have reached the first goal of upgrading to 2.2.21 I might start adding support for various NIC's, and other hardware I am able to test on.
+The second statement is important since the corresponding Linux patches **do** add new drivers. I too will add them, but not at this stage.

-1. Enable [[FreeBSD]] drivers from OSKit in Mach. Checked that, does not work easily since the [[FreeBSD]] PCI related drivers are initialized from the [[FreeBSD]] PCI probe. OSKit-Mach uses the Linux PCI stuff and hence it would not be done easily.
-2. Use the sound drivers in the OSKit -- port a useful sound daemon.
-3. I want to get SMP working with OSKit-mach.
