Hi all.
Just to announce a new release, with some updates and novelties
(important ones, aic and epoll...)
As usual:
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.21-pre3-jam3.tar.bz2
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.21-pre3-jam3/
NOTE: there is anew version of bproc, but I could not update it 'cause
the tarball in bproc.sf.net is corrupted...
Changelog:
- aa updated to -pre3-aa1
- highpage_init integrated in -aa
- killed cd-read-audio-dma, because it was giving too much oopses...

more scalable.

Is someone working on this (assuming it will eventually get into 2.6)? It
seems to make a worthwhile improvement when ripping CDs. Not as worthwhile
as stability, obviously ;-)
