Sorry, Oleg, Dieter, Chris & others, for "re-threading", are the introduced patches in 2.4.20-pre2 and/or 2.4.19.pending compatible with Chris' patches? I didn't give them or 2.4.20-pre2 a try, so far. Am I right to better wait until Chris is back and updates his data-logging stuff for the actual pre-kernel, namesys-patches and more - wait for the outstanding merge?? Anyone having experiences yet? Thank you and best regards, Manuel
