Hello friends:
linux-2.6.3 has been released, but...Where are 6pack and mkiss?
I don't find them...
I can see bpq, Baycom...etc... but not 6pack or mkiss.

Thank's.

Somebody decided that they are not SMP safe...
If you deselect 'Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly' in the
'Code maturity level options' you will get the 6pack and mkiss drivers
back.

In other words someone has to go over the mkiss and 6pack code and make it
smp safe.

btw my last 6pack patch is NOT yet in 2.6.3 so you will have to apply that
manually.

Hi,

If I understand, the planned SMP MB I wanted to buy won't run for serial TNC's
(At least in SMP mode) ...

Hi,

In my experience mkiss works very fine with kernel 2.6 !
Could you explain what is SMP ?

SMP=Symmetric Multi Processing

More than one processor.

As long as you use a single processor system they indeed work fine....
And the nasty thing is that they will probably appear to work fine on an
multiprocessor system to. Except for the fact that it will probably have
some misterious lockup once every few weeks :)

Somebody has looked at the code and decided that it probably has some race
conditions. (which might go wrong or might go right depending on the phase
of the moon)
Someone would have to go over the code and make sure it uses the propper
locking mechanisms.

I have experienced the same problem. When I tried to install Debian on 
my Sparc 20 - no problem. The drivers were clearly listed on the 
install. However....  when I tried to install the same version on my 
Ultra sparc 2,  6pack and mkiss go away..... I don't see on option on 
the install that reads "Select only drivers expected to compile 
cleanly"...... does anyone know where to find this option?
