Hi Linus
I am working in introducing my balancing changes in pre9-3, but I
am having problems with it. Now my machines get deadlocked and I
get a lot of Oopses. I am investigating on that. I get Oops
indeed in the pre9-3 vanilla kernel. I am studying it to write a
report of the situation.
My SMP machine is new, It has passed 6 hours of memtest86 memory
checker, but I don't know what to blame at the moment. I am
compiling for my old UP machines to test the differences.
Later, Juan.
PD.

Yes I am having deadlocks, Conectiva (http://www.conectiva.com.br/)and
my department in the University (http://carpanta.dc.fi.udc.es/)
have bought me an SMP machine.
