The last -ck patch i can find is for .22: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/ or have they been forward ported? (if yes, do you have an URL for that) (my guess is you used the 2.6.23.1 scheduler (CFS), so the improvement you felt on the laptop is relative to 2.6.23-vanilla in essence - which is good news.) > > > Just a question: does the patch include the fix (divide by > > > zero....) you just posted in the stable review for 2.6.23.9? > > > > yeah. > > OK, thanks. Have you already tried to apply the patch to 2.6.23.9? > Shall we expect some other rejects? hm: The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.23.8 so there's no 23.9 yet.
