A frequent requirement is to rename vmlinuz-2.x.y to 2.x.y-old or

Hi!
If I do a make distclean then make menuconfig, I get the following error
message on the "Processor type and features --->" entry (maybe a bit
corrupted because I had to do a ctrl_c to avoid the curses display to
owerwrite it). The other entries seems to be ok :
scripts/Menuconfig: CONFIG_M3

O.k. That makes perfect sense then. See below.

Has anyone looked into memory hot swap/hot add support? Especially with
systems with Chipkill coming out, this would be great to support...

The fbmem.c bug made "less /proc/fb" segfault, as it made read()
returned more
bytes than were requested.
The offb.c bug caused /proc/fb output to be incorrect, and potentially
could cause kernel data structure corruption.
Enjoy,

I don't think so. On a single CPU system we need atomic updates

Indeed, and thank you for getting this ri
Hi,
You can find a new version of the hot swap cpu patch at:
http://samba.org/~anton/patches/cpu_hotswap-2.4.3-patch
The version for s390 (you need to first apply the 2.4.3 kernel
patch available on the IBM s390 Linux website) is at:
http://samba.org/~anton/patches/cpu_hotswap-2.4.3-patch-s39
I'm now running with the patch for several hours, no problems.
bw_pipe transfer rate has nearly doubled and the number of context
switches for one bw_pipe run is down from 71500 to 5500.
Please test it.

Hello,
I have update my kernel from 2.2.17 (with USB patch) to kernel 2.4.4. Now,
booting the kernel block for about 5 minutes when configuring lo and eth0.
The original distribution is a RedHat 6.2 on a PIII Dell portable (Inspiron
3800), with a PCMCIA card for the network (NE2000 compatible).
