Here's a slightly modified version of Andrew's patch: the version he

locks_remove_posix(), meaning that the host server was not being
notified that posix locks were cleared in the call to close().

hey. I'm having some strange memory problems with the 2.4 kernel. I first
noticed in linux-2.4.0test9 (the first 2.4 kernel I installed and that I

Hi ,
I installed Red Hat 7.0, I am able to find the
linux-2.2.16 in /usr/src
These are the following steps I did to install
kernel 2.4:
cd /usr/src
#rm -r linux
# rm -rf linux-2.2.16
#tar -xvf linux-2.4.0-test9.tar
#cd /usr/src
#ls
linux
redhat
#mv linux linux-2.4.0-test
