It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.58/patch-2.5.58-mjb1.bz2 Since 2.5.55-mjb1 Notes: The interrupt distribution on Summit should be fixed now. I put the new minimal NUMA scheduler in, no node-balance code yet (real soon). The summit code will break the new bigsmp subarch for now. - ksymsoff Hugh Dickens (kind of part merged, and I don't have an updated ver) - numasched1 Erich Focht + summit1 James Cleverdon / John Stultz ~ summit2 John Stultz + min_numasched Martin J.
