I thought that when you compiled a kernel as UP it replaced the spin-lock

Odds are it's a raw socket receive buffer issue. Stock pings only ask for
a ~96k socket buffer, which means that they can only hold one ~64k packet
at a time. So, if you're ever slow grabbing packets out of the buffer,
you're going to drop traffic.
You can fix this by upping the socket buffer

Hi,

Spinlocks on a embedded system? Is it _really_ SMP?
What kind of performance problem do you have?
My guess, since you are mentioning spin locks, is that you are
having a latency problem - RT process does not execute/start
quickly enough?

I looked in modutils-2.4.2 as documented in Changes.
If rc.hints really doesn't exist, perhaps the sentence in

On 2.4.4, with the aic7xxx driver loaded, if a test unit ready

generic scsi interface, it results in the driver rolling out
of memory, even though sg may have open file handles for
