Have you checked if sparsemem even worked in 2.6.20? Irc it was quite unstable a couple of releases ago. There were times where it rarely booted on x86-64 because so few people test it. If not the patch is not needed, although relatively harmless too. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
