i suspect we'll merge 2.4.19 into our tree and release that.  i don't
know how much enthusiasm there still is for working on 2.4 with 2.5
coming on so well.

I've sent Marcelo the main parisc diffs and asked him to merge them for
2.4.20-pre1. Thats basically all the stuff which is parisc unique. If
that works out ok then I can start feeding him the other stuff piece by
piece after its been tested in -ac

I've not been doing much for 2.5 and I'd like to see the folks who are
beating on 2.5.x not get distract by this.
If someone (paul?) drops 2.4.19 in our CVS and tells me which files
have conflicts, I'd be happy to take a whack at it.

thanks,
grant

The merge work I've done to feed on to Marcelo has had very close to
zero conflicts so it shouldnt be too bad.

I agree. And FWIW, I'd be more than happy to help. 
2.4.x is essential for the cluster work I'm doing :)

Hi all,

Congratulation to all for great job.

I test successfully 2.4.19-pa2 on my b2000 (with sym2) and b180 (with sym1).

I also test (I well see some differences) 2.4.20-pre1 with success on my
b2k (also sym2).

[All 32-bits kernels]

Just still have some problem with pre1-ac1 because of mingo sched (may be
solved in 2.5 ?)

Thanks,
 joel

yes, 2.5.26 has the O(1) scheduler and (i think) Richard & Randolph got
that working.
