There is no analog to sys_iopl and sys_ioperm on PPC. (Also, Greg > KH submitted the config/build code for various platforms to LKML, I > believe it has been picked up in 2.5.27 or 29.)

Looks like I need to start fiddling with the 2.5 kernels... =) I'll take another gander at the 2.4.19 patch and see what I can do about porting the platform-dependent stuff over to PPC. Not being a kernel hacker may hinder me somewhat, so don't yell if I come back for a few pointers. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" {GnuPG: 1024D/FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
