The symptoms of this bug can be erratic mouse/keyboard behavior, higher networking latencies, and similar things. (If CONFIG_PREEMPT is disabled then another effect of this bug can lead to crashes.) -S4 is also a merge to 2.6.9-rc2-mm2. To get a 2.6.9-rc2-mm2-VP-S4 kernel, the patching order is: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.tar.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.9-rc2.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc2/2.6.9-rc2-mm2/2.6.9-rc2-mm2.bz2 + http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc2-mm2-S4 Ingo - 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/
