From: Ian Soboroff Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2003 09:51:36 -0500 Message-ID: <9cfptf6vts7.fsf@rogue.ncsl.nist.gov> User-Agent: Gnus/5.1003 (Gnus v5.10.3) Emacs/21.2 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have a machine with 12GB of RAM, and I've been running a 2.4.22-era kernel with Andrea's patches on it, otherwise it dies from lack of lowmem. The latest -aa patch is for 2.4.23-pre6, but I see in the 2.4.23 Changelog that at least some bits of Andrea's VM were merged. Should I be able to run a vanilla 2.4.23 on this box? (Well, vanilla modulo XFS, but I know how to apply patches ;-) For the record, I tried hand-merging the last -aa patch into 2.4.22-rc5 last week, but it wasn't 100% stable so I may have fudged something. (It would lock up when the console blanked...) Ian
