Do you mean that these systems require CONFIG_PM be turned off, or just that people tend not to turn it on? If the latter would you expect any ill effects from doing so? I don't know the answer to either question without testing. All I am saying is that currently the default for CONFIG_PM is off and you are changing it to be on and there may not have been any testing done of that in some situations. We don't know where it was explicitly turned off any more since we shrank our defconfig files (which was done automatically) ... since it is off by default, it doesn't need to be mentioned in a defconfig unless it needs to be turned on. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwells...@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ pgpGzafpyYxuI.pgp Description: PGP signature

I guess I could go ahead with the mainline merge, and Stephen drops whatever that tree was from linux-next until it has been fixed up? Just do the merge ... I will just need to drop the squashfs tree until they do a merge/rebase with Linus' tree and fix it all up. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwells...@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ pgpbjdEMozBKW.pgp Description: PGP signature

Cris has seen significant updates in 2.6.25 by its maintainer. It's not a very active port, but skipping updates for one kernel version is on a completely different scale from doing nothing at all for over three years as in the v850 case. Also, cris has a tree in linux-next now, so there will be updates in 2.6.27. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ pgpDkQYSrdX9E.pgp Description: PGP signature
