Disabling this option on SMP allows the

In current 2.6.23-rc1+git, make bootimage gives the following warnings
while compiling mkbb.c. The patch below fixes these warnings by using
the proper include for exit() and using appropriate printf format.

I did that myself, so that's a non-issue.
No. The complaints were about the CK scheduler not being as responsi

Yeah, yeah, my fingers get confused. I type "Linux" and "Linus"
interchangably, and _most_ of the time I notice, but then

In current 2.6.23-rc1+git, make bootimage gives the following warning
while compiling arch/alpha/boot/main.c. The patch below fixes the
warning by casting callback argument explicitly to void*. The original
value comes from START_ADDR macro and is clearly numeric so only cast it
for the callbac
x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.

Hi,
I'm getting periodic oopses running KVM-33 on 2.6.23-rc1. Here is a digital
photo of the oops. Alarmingly, a lot of the time it triple faults the machine
and I don't get a chance to grab it. This time I was lucky, though.
