I put an updated preempt-kernel patch up at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/preempt-kernel/v2.4/
The patch is a rediff to 2.4.21, but also contains a number of fixes for
preempt-unsafe code -- both longstanding issues and new problems arising
from the 2.4.21 development cycle. Thanks to Joe Korty and various folks
at MontaVista for a lot of the fixes.
Please give it a whirl. Or, even better, switch to 2.5
Enjoy,
Robert Love

May we look forward to a 2.4.21-ac patch?

Consider Columbus:
He didn't know where he was going.
When he got there he didn't know where he was.
When he got back he didn't know where he had been.
And he did it all on someone else's money.

Probably not.
I mean, I can easily be a patch monkey and just rediff the thing, but I
need to understand it and test it and run it. And I only have so many
machines, and finding one for mainstream 2.4 was chore enough.
I think it is time everyone gives 2.5 a whirl..
