Yes. I have compared the syscalls of the Linux kernel (i386 and alpha). I
don't know the internal of the Intel processor... But I don't know why
we cannot reuse the alpha implementation (I have compared both files a
month ago, and I am in holliday, without any alpha to confirm...).
I have worked on the module, but it does not compile with gcc-3.0 and 2.4
kernel headers. I cannot retry before the next week. I have seen in the
doc (I have some difficulties to read this doc because groff makes very
big pages... My groff is certainly broken...) that this module can only
read ODS-2 filesystem. What are the differences between ODS-2 and ODS-5 ?
