That seems to be the place for Andrea Arcangeli VM patch. Get it at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.2/2.2.16/mm-fix-* Or even better, get kernel 2.2.17 and http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.2.18pre/pre-patch-2.2.18-18.bz2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.2/2.2.18pre18/VM-global-2.2.18pre18-7.bz2 and get a 2.2.18-pre18-vm, with USB support included. There is a 2.2.18-pre20 out, but I have not still checked if VM-global-2.2.18pre18-7.bz2 works on it. It worked for me in -pre19. -- Juan Antonio Magallon Lacarta #> cd /pub mailto:jamagallon@able.es #> more beer - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
