+I have used the Linux 2.2.22 patch as the base and added the Linux ide-2.2.20.01102002 patch on top. Integration is now complete, testing have started. An alpha quality release will be posted here soon, watch this space. If you want to help out with testing, please contact me via email.

+ The OSKit itslef is currently at Linux version 2.2.12 for most of its drivers. The objective of this project was to upgrade to 2.2.22. I will of course also provide upgrades to upcoming revisions of the 2.2.x series, but they have a low priority right now. Please note:
* The patches are cummulative, i.e., you only need one.
* The patches only upgrade existing OSKit drivers, they don't add support for new ones. Unlike the corresponding Linux patches.
-To build [[Mach/OskitMach]] you also need some [[Mach/UsefulOskitPatches]]. As well as two unofficial GNUmach2 patches. See Daniel Wagners post to bug-hurd, <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/2002-December/011134.html>

-I have looked into this a bit. The [[FreeBSD]] PCI drivers are initialized from the [[FreeBSD]] PCI probe. GNUmach uses the Linux PCI stuff which means the [[FreeBSD]] probe will not run - this is probably solved in some ingenious way int the OSKit, but I've yet to find out about that.
