Alan, can we integrate e820 memory detection into 2.2.18 / 2.2.19? The
backport (from 2.4) patch is available at

It applies cleanly to 2.2.14-2.2.18pre. I have been using it with
2.2.18-pre with good results on Thinkpad 600x. No adver

Hi,
Here's a very strange (and repeatable) result. Affects 2.2.x + raw device
patches (i.e. RH7.0). Also had a similar effect on 2.4.0test9!
The problem is best described with a little sequence. After using raw i/o
facilities, streamed block device reads from the same underlying device
exhibit

mtrr.c is broken for machines with >=4GB of memory (or less than 4GB,
if the chipset reserves an addresses range below 4GB for PCI).

just to add -- I was following Alan Cox's suggestion of incrementing
"mem=N" and finding the value where the system stops working normally. It
