aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1
Hi,
I need aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1 as i i need to create a live linux distro for my organization and linux live scripts (the scripts which I am using for creating live linux distro) require aufs and squashfs support. There is a directive for squashfs in kernel configuration file but nothing for aufs and the patch available at linux-live site seems not to work. Any guidance/pointers would really be appreciated.
PS: For security reasons the kernel needs to be monolithic i.e. without loadable modules support.
I have the 2.6.34 zen kernel source pre-patched, etc
and the reason the original lls 6.3.0 wont work is cause it has squashfs 3.4; Ritchie at Slax forum has made a newer version of Linux-Live-Scripts that works with the 2.6.34 kernel

yeah the kernel did compile fine.... and i have also added the loadable module support and applied the aufs patch... the system which i want to turn live is booting fine on the machine but displays the above error when made to turn live using lls scripts
BTW i forgot to mention I am using centos so I dont think your things would work for me... if possible please provide me your LLS scripts which u used to turn ur system live
