Or is the changeset below too > general? This is not a Nehemiah but an Esther CPU which seems to support nopl (I checked with a small program). Futhermore it seems the whole nopl issue got fixed in the kernel: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/5/374 (b74b06c5f6612a72298f37baa65460a59c26ca67) but unfortunately not for 2.6.26: $ git-name-rev b74b06c5f6612a72298f37baa65460a59c26ca67 b74b06c5f6612a72298f37baa65460a59c26ca67 tags/v2.6.27-rc6~4^2~10 (and it doesn't seem to be in any of the 2.6.26.X series).
So to me it seems the workaround can be removed: * removed for VIA Ester altogeher * removed vor VIA Nehemiah once we ship 2.6.27 Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
