I'd say that you have the opportunity to ask for help from this list, but it may not be the best choice as this isn't really a forum extensively populated with C programmers ardently familiar with the details of the 2.5 series Linux kernel, particularly the details of where 2.5.50 has reached relative to other versions. I would even suggest that possibly under half a dozen people on this list have *ever* written kernel code in the past couple of kernel development cycles. That said, in spite of the kernel edition number having reached *50*, it is still a pre-Alpha kernel, just having had its feature freeze, but where those features are not yet actually fully implemented, let alone internally debugged or debugged against other functions of the kernel or the broader o/s. It may also be that some of these features *just won't work* in the long run, and won't be part of the eventual release kernel. Do not run this on any system on which there is data of value. -- Mark L.
