I want to be able to mount FATX drives and partitions on Ubuntu 8.10 (original XBOX's file system). There are a few threads on this forum asking this question but no one has answered, and they are now read only and archived.

There are some kernel patches I found here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=147485

I'm no guru, but I think that it goes something like this:
I would have to download the kernel sources in one of the versions matching the patches I found, patch the kernel, build/compile it, put the new kernel in the right place and do some grub configuration editing to get a system that can boot with a patched kernel.

Does anyone here know if this process would work? The latest kernel patch I found in the link above targets 2.6.16, would this pose a problem since Ubuntu 8.10 runs on kernel 2.6.24.
