Disktype now working

August 24, 2009 — BarryK
I used the Pardus patches, but modified them. I changed 'disktype.patch' so that it uses 'gcc' again. Also, the Pardus patches have modified the stdout when the program is used, and I changed it back to standard format by removing all lines with "KERNELMODULE" in the source files.

I have compiled it statically using uClibc, as 'disktype' is also required in the initrd. Note, 'Makefile' has to be edited to have "-static" in the final link step.

The patched source:

The PET package, compiled statically:
