Yeah, I also used part of Con Kolivas' patch sets (preemptible kernel, O(1) scheduler and low latency for sched.c) while I separately patched the latest patches on kernel preemption and low latency from morton and rml (err latest back then as I started patching 2 weeks ago and only continued on it just days ago). If I remember right, ck's copy of the preemptible kernel patch is from 2.4.19-pre5 (I used an even more recent copy than that, so I'll check it out) I didn't use the compressed cache as the patch was incompatible with the latest patches on lowlatency back then... Anyway, I'll be checking out the ck patches again... as well as make another round of code checking.[before I apply the F00F bug fix as I've got one box here that has that bug] -- -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ Philippine Free Network Group free.net.ph _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
