Linux kernel patch set 2.4.19pre7-jp10

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

Status: 22 Apr 2002 22:00

Changes from jp9 to jp10

Supermount patch is suspended, it needs some rework.
It will rejoin in -jp11. HZ is set to 1000 on i386 architectures. This improves throughput under high loads. Minor RTC timer fix for Alsa timer. CDFS fixed. The sdmany patch is obsolete.

Known Issues

The root fs can't get unmounted since -jp9. The system hangs at shutdown time. This will cause the system doing a file system recovery at the next time it is booted.

What is it?

The -jp kernels are development kernels for testing purpose only. They will appear regularly two or three times a month. Their purpose is to provide a service for developers who can't keep up to date with the latest kernel and patch versions, but want to test new features and evaluate enhancements that are not to be expected for inclusion into the mainstream 2.4 kernel.

Download

The patch set is provided as a single archive where you will find all patches as separate .bz2 packed files. Please take care if you split the set and try to use parts of it. The recommended way is downloading the set, unpacking the archive, and apply the patches with the addpatches shell script.

Installation

The addpatches shell script is very useful to apply the patch set. Here are the basic commands how to build a new kernel with -jp patches:

Download 2.4.18 Linux kernel sources
Unpack into /usr/src/linux
Download -jp patch set
Unpack into your patchdir
cd patchdir
sh addpatches
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules
su
make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.1X-preX-jpX
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz.2.4.1X-preX-jpX
edit /etc/lilo.conf
lilo
reboot ... and take a deep breath! You are running a jp kernel now!

Contact

You feel happy with a jp kernel? Just let me know if my work is good for you.

Feel free to contact me, send e-mail to [email protected]
I try to help as much as I can. It's fun to hack the Linux kernel! If you are lucky, you can find me hanging out at IRC: #kernelnewbies at irc.openprojects.net Credits to all the fine people out there.

You have successfully booted a -jp kernel? You want to know if your system can run a -jp kernel? If you like to send your 'dmesg' output of successful booting into a -jp kernel, please let me know about your system. Please attach the system name, your kernel '.config' and other valuable information in your mail. Also, I like to know if certain hardware or .config's don't work, or when build errors occur. I will add this information on my web page.

You are missing a patch? Patches will be added by request. Please be patient, some patches must be carefully tested.
