Subject[PATCHSET] 2.4.21-pre2-jp15
DateThu, 26 Dec 2002 01:33:54 +0100
Hi,

here is my christmas present for you!

Linux kernel patch set 2.4.21-pre2-jp15

This is the fifteenth release of the -jp patch set.

Status: 25 Dec 2002 22:00 CEST

What is it?

The -jp kernel patch sets are development kernels for testing purpose only. 
They provide a service for developers who want keep up to date with the 
latest kernels and interesting patches. If you like to test interesting new 
features of patches and evaluate bleeding-edge enhancements not to be 
expected for inclusion into the standard 2.4 kernel in the near future, the 
-jp kernel patch set is the one for you.

The patches are selected under performance improvement criterias and increased 
stability under load, with an eye on better file system support and security. 
Each patch is carefully evaluated, compiled and adapted to fit into the 
collection. The patch set should compile; but it can't be guarantueed that it 
successfully boots on every machine.

Before being released, the -jp kernel is tested for successful booting into 
SuSE Linux 8.1 on a test machine with the Elitegroup K7S5A board, Duron 1 
Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB IDE drive, SCSI 4.3 GB drive, Geforce 2 graphics card. It 
will be released if a -jp kernel self-compile and reboot on an XFS file 
system partition succeeds.

The -jp patch sets will appear regularly, depending on the progress of 2.4 
kernel releases. The 2.6 kernel is scheduled for second quarter of 2003, and 
-jp patch sets will be continued for 2.6 kernels.

The patch set is provided as a single archive where you will find all patches 
as separate files. Please take care if you split the set and try to use parts 
of it. The recommended method is downloading the set, unpacking the archive, 
and apply the patches with the applypatches shell script provided in the 
archive.

Known Issues

* XFS with preemptive kernel can't sync, a kernel BUG is thrown. Please don't 
use XFS with preemptive kernel.

* Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on ... Please build your root 
fs into the kernel, not as a module.

* The variable 'CONFIG_SOUND' is shared between Alsa and OSS. This is not very 
elegant. Kernel will be bigger than necessary.

* mkinitrd might fail with:
xfs: failed to add module "/lib/modules/2.4.21-pre2-jp15/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.o"
initrd too small
Please don't switch on xfs debugging. It will bloat xfs.o over 22 MB.

* building a "Jumbo Kernel" with *all* possible configuration options selected 
to 'y' will build, but it fails at vmlinux link time due to limitations in 
binutils-2.12.90 (SuSE 8.1).

Have fun!
