And now put the package on the mirrors because everything is OK, and I dont need to switch on and off the server so that they can sync, and the users can use the now working packages of 2.6.39-rcX , which have many new drivers and other good improvements. Like since years, I continue to compile new versions since -rc1 and report problems. But it was very important that Linus take care of these problems now, because nobody else searched for the reasons. These bugs in logfs and in slub.c and percpu.h probably were processor-type / arch independent, and would have given problems for the most users, so that they could not have been ignored. wl ======================================================= On Thu, 5 May 2011 08:02:04 +0200 Ingo Molnar wrote: > > * werner wrote: > >> I'll test the patchs with a 486 config, switching off >>ELAN. > > I think you can skip all those other test suggestions in >this thread - as you > confirmed in this email the root cause of your crashes >has been found. > > So the best testing you could do would be for you to >resume testing whatever > original config you were using on your system, and make >sure there's really no > crashes left - and report any other regressions you >might see. > > Thanks, > > Ingo > > "werner" --- Professional hosting for everyone - http://www.host.ru -- 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/
