From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Mosberger Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 18:29:10 +0000 Subject: kernel update (relative to 2.6.0-test4) Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org The latest ia64 patch is now available at ftp://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.5/ in file: linux-2.6.0-test4-ia64-030826.diff.gz Mainly a collection of bug-fixes plus sync'ing with 2.6.0-test4 (e.g., fadvise64_64() is now hooked up). Also, I included a patch by Arun which makes x86 GDT/LDT accesses work again. The patch was supposed to be in Linus' 2.6.0-test4 but got overlooked somehow. The kernel seems to work fine on various zx1-based machines and the HP Simulator. I didn't try Lion/Big Sur but the ACPI bug that was keeping earlier kernels from working has been folded into the main tree, so in theory, the kernel should work on those platforms again. Oh, -test3 had some nasty race conditions in the timer code and that caused it to crash on MP machines under heavy load. -test4 seems to be much better in this regard. Enjoy, --david
