The patch I intend to be 2.2.18 is out as 2.2.18pre26 in the usual place.
I'll move it over tomorrow if nobody reports any horrors, missing files etc

I haven't checked anywhere yet, but is there a changelog someplace?

Fresh 2.2.17, "patch -p1 < /pre-patch-2.2.18-26"
can't find file to patch at input line 38909
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Ignore that bit of the patch. arch/i386/vmlinux.lds is generated from
arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S and the latter is correctly patched. The patch
for arch/i386/vmlinux.lds should not have been generated.
<rant size="small">
There are a lot of unnecessary inconsistencies between architectures.
Some archs generate vmlinux.lds from vmlinux.lds.S, some from
vmlinux.lds.in, some do not generate vmlinux.lds, it is shipped in the
tarball. The inconsistencies make it difficult to distinguish between
files that are generated (not shipped, ignore for patching) and master
files (shipped in tar ball, check for patches).
There is a similar problem with oops text. Each architecture needs an
oops report but each one prints it differently.
I implore architecture maintainers to adopt a common approach to
generated files, oops reports etc. Remember that each arch needs to be
part of the common tar ball and has to operate with a single set of
make and other user space tools.

So do something silly like
cp linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds
and you will see that the patch against the files are identical.
/linux/arch/i386/Makefile
arch/i386/vmlinux.lds: arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S FORCE
$(CPP) -C -P -I$(HPATH) -imacros $(HPATH)/asm-i386/page_offset.h -Ui386
arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S >arch/i386/vmlinux.lds
All it is is a leftover file........

Now you know why I put it out as a pre26 first 8)
my fault, my fault! Sorry, dontdiff updated on
http://www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/dontdiff
the old one contained vmlinux.lds which would is good for kdb kernels
where vmlinux.lds is automatically generated at runtime.

actually, if you do have a mention of vmlinux.lds in the actual patch then
I can't see how vmlinux.lds in dontdiff could have caused it? But it
needed updating (for this very reason) anyway...

Will
ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.2/2.2.18pre25/VM-global-2.2.18pre25-7.bz2
be included in the final 2.2.18 ? I found that it helped us - we had the
problem with 'trying to free pages' even with 2.2.18pre25 , but that
patch helped, now the machine is like ' rock stable' :)

vmlinux.lds for 2.2 is dynamically generated. I should probably have used your
dontdiff ;)
did we lose ip=autoconf. I see dhcp and arp transmitting infinitely. I was
able to boot only after completely entering nfsroot= and ip= boot commands.
2.2.17 worked thusley.
root=/dev/nfs ether=0,0,eth0
2.2.18-pre26 works only
root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.50.11:/tftpboot/191.168.50.2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

:
I didn't try with 2.2.18 yet but looking at the source (ipconfig.c)
seem that my patch wasn't accepted, you can give it a try :

hope this help,

Those are DHCP. 'both' is the old keywords for rarp and bootp. It now behaves
as it should do for compatibility. Try 'on' or 'all'
