Thanks - There are questions from time to time on how to test ia64 for those people who do not have hardware. Mikael: > Thanks.

It seems that there are at least two of you out there - so I'm happy to take kernel patches that make things better. Not sure where the ski patches go - is someone maintaining that? -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
