Have you had any feedback about this patch? I applied it last night to
2.4.

Hello All,
I have a box with 2 ethernet cards. One is a ne2k-pci and one is a
tulip. Under 2.2.X the ne card is eth0 and the tulip is eth1. Unfortunatly
if I boot a 2.4.X kernel, the tulip card is assigned eth0 and the ne card
eth1, which of course breaks all my networking setup scripts.

Are these 4 improvements in the code test9-pre1 patch that Linus just

Hello All,
I am interested in Rik's new VM system so I am running some "How long does
it take to build mozilla" benchmarks. I only have results for 2.2.17 and
2.4.0-test9-pre1 right now, but the results look very good and I wanted to
share them:

Hello all,
I am running a 2.4.0-test9 kernel and I have noticed a VM problem I
have not seen reported before. The machine is a uniprocessor Pentium
II with 2G of ram, and the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G and
CONFIG_HIGHMEM both set to y. I also have 512M of swap on the machine.

Rik,
This kernel is working well for me. I have been off the net for about
a week and a half, so I did not get to try any of the latter test9-preX

Somewhere floating around there is a perl version of rpm2cpio. If you can
