(recommended) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_alpha-srm-2.4.6-pre1-1 Access the srm variables via /proc/srm_environment. Patch posted to l-k by Jan-Benedict Glaw . (nice to have) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_initrd-release-blkdev-1 Remeber to release the opened blkdev after initrd load. (recommended) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_ksoftirqd-6_ia64-1 Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_ksoftirqd-6_ppc-1 softirq updates for ppc and ia64. (recommended) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_locks-1 Fix from ac16 (avoid corrupting the lock_depth). (recommended) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_max-threads-1 Each task is going to take more than 2 pages. There's also the pid limit and the per-user limit but turning the default down is good idea. Fix from Rik from ac16. (recommended) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_swapinfo-1 Only show deviecs when then swap_map is been allocated to avoid oops during swapon. Fix from Paul Menage . (nice to have) Only in 2.4.6pre3aa1/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-3 Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-4 Introduce O_ATOMICLOOKUP for ppc equal to 01000000. Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 40_experimental/40_blkdev-pagecache-3 Optional patch to apply to move the blkdev from buffercache to pagecache. At the moment this breaks the ramdisk and in turn initrd. Read the 40_experimental/README for more details. Like the tux patches this one is not included into the global diff (2.4.6pre3aa2.{gz,bz2}). Andrea
