[LARTC] IMQ technical question

[The Codrinus]

How many IMQ queueing devices you may have ? I've patched the 2.4.21 
kernel and I have by default 2 devices: imq0 and imq1 !

regards,
Codrin.

Hello,

use something like modprobe imq numdevs=8 to load imq kernel module or put "options imq numdevs=8" to the /etc/modules.conf file. The maximum is 16 (set in include/linux/imq.h with #define IMQ_MAX_DEVS 16).

[Thomas Switala]

 Greetings,

 I have a system with a monolithic kernel and I am using imq. But now  I
need
 to use more than the default 2 imq devices,
 how can I increase the default to at least 4 with out recompiling a modular
 kernel.

Hello,

you can't I'm afraid, it seems that imq does not support kernel command line from lilo, grub or other bootloaders. But I'm not 100% sure about it.
