Re: Feedback on preemptible kernel patch

Hello Robert,

I tried 2.4.10-pre4 with patch-rml-2.4.10-pre4-preempt-kernel-1.
But it seems to hit highmem (see below) (i do have 1.5GB ram)
2.4.10-pre4 plain runs just fine.

With the kernel option mem=850M the patched kernel boots an seems to run
fine. However i didn't do any stress testing yet, but i still notice
hickups while playing mp3 files at -10 nice level with mpg123 on a 1.1GHz
Athlon, and removing for example a _large_ file (reiser-on-lvm).

My syslog output with highmem:
