Sorry, Oleg, Dieter, Chris & others,
for "re-threading",
are the introduced patches in 2.4.20-pre2 and/or 2.4.19.pending
compatible with Chris' patches? I didn't give them or 2.4.20-pre2 a try,
so far.
Am I right to better wait until Chris is back and updates his
data-logging stuff for the actual pre-kernel, namesys-patches and more -
wait for the outstanding merge?? Anyone having experiences yet?
Thank you and best regards,
Manuel
