The PIII fpu bug doesnt apply to 2.2 unless you applied the PIII patches to it 2.4.0 didnt have the ptrace bug. The -ac tree has both sysctl and fpu fixed. I believe the current Linus 2.4.2pre has fpu but not sysctl fixed - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
