With 2.4.0-test8 my system reboots on its own about every 6 to 8 hours with
nothing in the logs except dirty partition from unclean shutdown. Reverted
back to test7 and everything back to normal. Was at first thinking it might

summary:
both patches do not improve latencies very much over standard kernels
I believe around factor 2, but far away from the factor 10 ( 12msec) claimed in
the

This cleans up a lot of the small bugs, some ext2 races and other smaller
items partly from 2.2.17 partly from the new code. Hopefully the changes
from now on through to 2.2.18 can be smaller as we shake stuff out of the
drivers and other stuff merged.

numbers. But "cvs diff" and "cvs update" are very

Right. An embedded usage where there are no writeable blockdevices can

Hello,
With 2.4.0-test8 (test8-pre6 seems to be OK) vgscan (at
boottime) "sees" al my volumegroups which are on IDE disk, but not those
on SCSI disk.
I had no problems mounting a "plain" ext2 scsi partition on same disk.
After some "research" i found sd.c is patched, but not yet in test8-pre6.

Yes, I saw that.
