Been running that kernel since march or so, it has worked flawlessy through several glibc versions, yes. Downgrading glibc is always such a mess, though, so I haven't done that yet. :) Looking at the diff between 2.4.21-rc2 and kernel-source-2.4.21, the main differences seem to be in the handling of auxio, changing REGWIN_SZ to STACKFRAME_SZ. In addition, there seems to be changes in how hardware multiplication and division is handled (umul/udiv/smul/sdiv). In 2.4.21-rc2, do_user_muldiv is only called for sun4 and sun4c architectures, while it is called unconditionally in 2.4.21. Could this be triggered by some combination of gcc and glibc updates? I'll instrument the 2.4.21 kernel a bit at that point, and start a kernel rebuild before going home and calling it a day. -Harald -- Harald Nordgård-Hansen, Linpro AS <>< http://harald.nordgard-hansen.net/ Pancoveien 7, NO-1624 Gressvik, Norway ><> Phone/Fax: +47 6935 2424/25 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
