Quick question... Does anyone know if there is a low-latency patch available for kernel 2.4.20? I was running 2.4.19 with BOTH the preempt kernel patch and the low-latency patch applied. I have applied the preempt patch to 2.4.20 but have been unable to find a low-latency patch for it. TIA,

[expert] Mkinitrd Necessary for building kernel?

I've rebuilt my kernel and it works fine.(Now running 2.4.19). No problem on boot up... no problem at all. However, after rebuilding the kernel, I saw some other instructions that said it was necessary to create an initrd image. I hadn't done that and everything seems to be fine. However, curious

[expert] Ext3 Question

I want to convert my filesystems from ext2 to ext3. However, currently, kernel support for ext3 is built in as module support. I'm running kernel 2.4.19 which I built from the source. My question is, does ext3 support need to be built directly into the kernel itself rather than as a module?
