hello; i have tried rtlinux_kernel_2_3 with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 it locks up my alpha on booting. someone stop for one minute and look at the differences between rtlinux_kernel_2_3 and linux-2.3.99-pre10-3 patched with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4. the files which differ are mainly arch/alpha/kernel files. i will include to results of the diff of the two directories once again at the tail of this message. the ultimate test is: can the rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4 be reversed on rtlinux_kernel_2_3? it can not be reversed. the reversal fails with rejects. i will once again include the results of the patch reversal at the tail of this message. i have tried linux-2.4.0-test1 patched with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4. my alpha pc164 466mhz running redhat-6.2 distribution locks up solid when module rtl.o is insmod. i have tried linux-2.4.0-test9 patched with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4. i hand patched the rejects. my alpha still locks up solid when module rtl.o is insmod. however, i do have linux-2.4.0-test9 patched with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4 hand patching the rejects running and working with emc from nist on the intel platform. there were changes necessary for drivers/mbuff to work but it is working. the linux-2.4.0-test9 kernel by itself is more stable on the alpha than linux-2.4.0-test1 is by itself. diff of linux-2.3.99-pre10-3 patched with rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4 and rtlinux_kernel_2_3. take note of the files which differ. linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/alpha_ksyms.c linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/proto.h linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/config.in linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/i386/config.in linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/ppc/config.in linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/Makefile <begin quote> [root@screamer src]# diff -u --recursive --brief linux-2.3.99-pre10-3 rtlinux_kernel_2_3 Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/Makefile and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/Makefile differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/config.in and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/config.in differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/alpha_ksyms.c and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/alpha_ksyms.c differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/proto.h and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/proto.h differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/i386/config.in and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/i386/config.in differ Files linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/arch/ppc/config.in and \ rtlinux_kernel_2_3/arch/ppc/config.in differ Only in linux-2.3.99-pre10-3/include/asm-arm: arch-a5k [root@screamer src]# <end quote> reversal of rtlinux-3.0-pre8 kernel_patch-2.4 on rtlinux_kernel_2_3. take note of the rejects and ignored: 2 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/alpha_ksyms.c.rej 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S.rej 1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c.rej 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/proto.h.rej 4 out of 4 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.rej 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c.rej 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to arch/alpha/config.in.rej 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to arch/ppc/config.in.rej 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to arch/i386/config.in.rej 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to Makefile.rej <begin quote> Script started on Sat Oct 28 19:07:39 2000 [root@screamer rtlinux_kernel_2_3]# patch -R -p1 <../rtlinux-3.0/kernel_patch-2.4 patching file `arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c' Unreversed patch detected!
