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. Download http://infolinux.de/jp15 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.

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).
