Swap and 2.6

Swap and 2.6

[Brian Murphy]

Hi,
 I have been using the swap patch posted here by Kumba on 27/5/2004
and it seeems to work, why has it not been merged? Is it incorrect?
Without it swapon segfaults and enabling swap is impossible.

It does seem to work for me on my R5K machines.

My only oddity so far is I'm unsure if it runs on R4x00 machines or 
Indigo2's.  My I2 lacks a framebuffer, and ip22zilog is shot dead in 
2.6.x, so It's near impossible to tell whether I get a successful boot 
or not on the machine.  I'm confident Peter's patch works for the most 
part, but if anyone w/ an I2 R4x00 machine and Newport can test 
2.6.5/.6/.7 + patch and let me know if it boots or not, I'd be 
interested.  Right now, I'm not able to boot anything past 2.6.4 on said 
machine, and have no idea how to capture all the boot info from the 
kernel startup through userland (netconsole didn't seem to work when I 
last tried it).

Hello !

Switch back the channels according to PROM/documentation/case numbering,
do some other small changes (patch attached), and you should have serial
console available again.

However, i couldn't test this fully. On my IP28, when entering userland
in 2.6 (no matter whether /sbin/init or /bin/sh), the output in the
console-window becomes slower and slower, asymptotically reaching a
standstill, before the login prompt appears (while the machine still can
be ping'ed over ethernet without degradation)  :-(

Good luck
