The patch still doesn't work for me. It worked fine until the pre-2
patches, but now the system just hangs here during boot:
Linux version 1.99.12 (root@cmpsci1.cs.umass.edu) (gcc version 2.7.2) #11-pre-2.0 Tue Jun 4 17:45:04 EDT 1996
Booting processor 1 stack 00002000: Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 39.94 BogoMIPS
Total of 2 processors activated (79.77 BogoMIPS).
So it doesn't work for everyone. I have have 2 P-100's, Neptune chipset,
EISA/PCI bus.
