It's still not the right list for that. linux-arch is just to broadcast stuff interesting to all architecture maintainers, not some kind of x86 list. BTW they didn't compile without fixes on x86-64-UP nor i386-SMP. Please compile test patches better next time. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
