Subject: [PATCHSET] Linux 2.4.19-pre9-jam1

Hi all.

Some changes in this release...
Andrea has merged the O1 scheduler, even with some updates, so half
the reason for may tree (updated VM and O1-sched) is gone (what is
good). So instead of cloning half of Andrea's tree, now -jam applies
on -aa. In fact, you even do not need to get -aa separately, it is
included as patch 00-aa-xxx.

You will notice that the ide-convert.10 patch has been dropped. The
highmem support in -aa IDE code made me to heasitate... And there are
new e100/e1000 drivers from 2.5.20.

Get it at:
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.19-pre9-jam1.tar.gz
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.19-pre9-jam1/

and enjoy (or burn your box).

Please update this to the latest version (linux-2.4.19-pre10-shared-zlib),
which fixes the zisofs and include path problems.

Each of those two one-line patches can be found at
http://linux-mtd.bkbits.net:8080/zlib-2.4
