[Oracleasm-devel] oracleasm changes for kernel 2.6.24

[Bjoern Boschman]

Hi Frank,

did you had any success porting the oracleasm to some newer kernelversions?
Unfortunatelly I do not have any clue about kernel hacking but I would 
love to package it for the next Debian release which is currently also 
using 2.6.24.
