Subject: 2.5.64-mjb1 (scalability / NUMA patchset)

The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything
else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable,
not so much a testing ground for new stuff.

I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.

That'll probably confuse the snot out of it ;-)
I'll try to add a dependency to the config file, but for now, can
you turn SMP on, and check that fixes it?

Yeah, that fixes it. I don't even know how that options was turned on
in the first place, but:

What happens if you turn this bit off ?
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y

Did you do "yes | make oldconfig" at some point? ;-)

eh ? I'm kind of build system stupid. Trying it again with that
CONFIG_ option turned off.

Yeah, it got past that point now.

Well, uh, now it just flat out hangs right after it decompresses
the kernel image. I've got an "Intel i815EEA" here, pure UP. Hmmm.

Hmmm ... does just -bk3 do the same thing with the same config file?
I guess you could try the early_printk stuff, but ISTR either VGA
or serial was broken ... but I forget which ;-(. I'll try to fix
that up later.

There's a funny pause after decompression, but it starts up fine.
Running from it now.

Subject: 2.5.64-mjb5 (scalability / NUMA patchset)

The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything
else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable,
not so much a testing ground for new stuff.

I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.

NOTE - you will have to apply -bk10 before applying this release.

Martin,
I seem be having problems booting this on a UP box with you patch. It
dies very early (with and without early printk turned on) with no output
the the screen. What config options should not be turned on with your
tree? Have you ever booted mjb trees on non-SMP systems? if so please
send .config.

Thanks,
