To all in the mailing list,
I have been testing Andrea Arcangeli's kernel patches for Linux/Alpha on a UP2000 SMP with 2GB memory running SuSE-7.0 with all the latest updates from the official SuSE site, but with xfree86-3.6.6.
Xfree-4.0.1 does not work for the 3DLabs card I have.
Under 2.4.4aa1, the X does not start as if some important pieces of X are not readable. Under 2.4.4aa2, the machine doe not boot showing the following message in the end:
Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Based upon Swansea University ...... NET3.039 Initializing RT netlink socket
I guess that something is wrong with the socket handling in both versions. Or, the trouble may originally exist in the linux-2.4.4 rather than in the aa-patches. I really don't know. BTW, I attached below my .config files. However, due to recent flurries of messages regarding a bug in fork.c, I did not try the original 2.4.4.
Those two config files are really similar to the one that Andrea is actually using for his patch development.
I now backed down to linux-2.4.3-ac14, (alan's patch to 2.4.3).
BTW, the -pre versions are officially maintained by Linus, while the -ac versions are maintained by Alan. What is special in the -ac versions? I see them trying to converge. But I'd like to know exactly what is actually being tried in the -ac versions.
Best regards,
