On 26 Oct, this message from Paul Mackerras echoed through cyberspace: > I have updated my rsync trees with some more changes to my current > 2.2.18pre17 source There are a few patches on sourceforge that you might consider for the 2.2.18 kernel release: - per-fb mmap for controlfb: this one has worked well for everybody who tested it, and gives a decent speed increase: https://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101236&group_id=8234 - better processor configuration in head.S. This is basicallz a copz of what is already done in 2.4: https://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101403&group_id=8234 - macserial proc additions and cleanups: https://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101410&group_id=8234 - ICTC support in the sysctl interface: https://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101484&group_id=8234 - kernel compilation independant of the /usr/src/linux path (however, this patches the top-level Makefile as well...): https://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101549&group_id=8234 I have one or two other things (not of any particular importance); if I get around to making a patch in the next days, I'll send them along.
