Lots of bits got thrown out this time, as Christoph Hellwig went through
the patch and picked up on quite a few obviously wrong bits. In addition,
this patch introduces the mad axemen, who come to carve up all that is
monolithic. Patrick's MTRR split-up has been around for a while, and could
use a bit more testing before it goes to Linus. The AGPGART changes I did
this afternoon, and haven't seen much testing at all yet.
Finally, another round of compile fixes and the likes from Linux Kernel.
As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.23 vanilla is available from:

I was busy testing it with 2.5.23-dj1...
got a panic, but could not save the output (and did not liked the idea to
write it all down 8), also I thought it had notinhg to do with the agpgart
split and wanted to try to run 2.5.23-dj1 first before reporting... ah well
will try it with -dj2

Chipset type and the output of "grep AGP .config" may be something to
begin with. Did it crash on load at boot time? or during agp usage?

sorry, was a bit short 8-)
It crashed during boot, at the time X was starting (as reported earlier by ??)
booting without starting X worked, and the following oops occured while
staring X (using the bootscript)

Another obviously wrong bit seems to be the patch below that is still in
-dj2:
- it adds a function that isn't used in neither plain 2.5.23 nor by
anything in the -dj2 patch
- it doesn't compile

Yep. ISDN bits Kai has got covered anyway (he took pickings from
2.5.23-dj1, so these can all be dropped next time round..)

Ok I can run -dj2, but I cannot use X 8-( although this time no BUG or panic.
I got these errors during boot:

and whem starting X with startx:

when X is starting I see the normal 'flash' as the screen resolution is

1, any agpgart related messages in the logs/dmesg ?
2. Can you disable agpgart, and try again. I'm fairly certain this
is the cause, but just in case..

Did not try this yet (will do it tomorrow evening), but the X failure was
related to my mouse setup: /dev/mouse pointed to /dev/psaux which is not
available in 2.5.xx-djX. when I corrected this to /dev/mouse0 I got a working
X again 8-)
however, when I started X from the bootscript, that is the bootscript starts
kdm which in turn starts the X server, I got the same oops as before...
the process that causes the oops appears to be chmod, if you want the whole
oops, please tell and I will write it down (cannot use a serial console...).
so the agpgart split seems to work fine here, but there is clearly something
wrong when kde2 tries to start.

No, that happens earlier. No idea what causes it, but it's obviously
a problem somewhere..

Please do. And feed it through ksymoops please.

Finger of suspicion points to..

Apply this (with -R), and see if it goes away.

just checked 2 but no improvement, also checked without drm again no
solution...
otherwise the system seems stable (also when running X) but I also saw the
'spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.' message after a couple of minutes. I know
that this has got something to do with local apic, but nothing more...
this is from dmesg:

Well, that's sort of good in a way.. it means the agpgart changes aren't
to blame. 8-)
As for your crash in exit.c, I'm puzzled by that one. Are you using
preempt ? if so, does disabling that fix it ?
