I was confused when I tried that, What I found is with 2.4.18pre4aa1 vanilla, when CONFIG_2G=y and CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, my system stops booting with: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. With Hugh's patch, 2.4.18pre4aa1 will boot with CONFIG_2G=y and CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, which is good. In my previous testing with the 1-2-3-gb patch, I always had CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y. Based on these findings, I think inclusion of Hugh's patch is a good thing. -- Randy Hron - 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/
