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
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!
