That's a disappointing result. If problems cannot be solved on ARM NOMMU, then it's very likely they cannot be solved on any NOMMU architecture. Is this for the Sigma Designs ARMs? The latest they've used is 2.6.26-uc0, however looking at the changes in 2.4 kernels, the most recent 2.4.37 kernel should work as well. The difference in memory handling between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels is enormous, but the difference from 2.4.17 to 2.4.37 is not much, especially in the memory allocator and reclamation. I'm surprised after all the effort to merge NOMMU into 2.6 as a standard feature that it doesn't work as well as 2.4 kernels. Is this because most uClinux major contributors target architectures with MMU nowadays, so NOMMU support isn't important to them any more? -- Jamie _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
