Linux kernel patch set 2.4.19pre7-jp10

This is the tenth release of the -jp patch set. 

Status: 22 Apr 2002 22:00 

Changes from jp9 to jp10 

Supermount patch is suspended, it needs some rework. 
It will rejoin in -jp11. HZ is set to 1000 on i386 architectures. 
This improves throughput under high loads. Minor RTC timer fix 
for Alsa timer. CDFS fixed. The sdmany patch is obsolete. 

Known Issues 

The root fs can't get unmounted since -jp9. The system hangs at 
shutdown time. This will cause the system doing a file system 
recovery at the next time it is booted. 

What is it? 

The -jp kernels are development kernels for testing purpose only. 
They will appear regularly two or three times a month. Their purpose 
is to provide a service for developers who can't keep up to date with 
the latest kernel and patch versions, but want to test new features and 
evaluate enhancements that are not to be expected for inclusion into 
the mainstream 2.4 kernel. 

Download 

The patch set is provided as a single archive where you will find all
patches as separate .bz2 packed files. Please take care if you split 
the set and try to use parts of it. The recommended way is downloading 
the set, unpacking the archive, and apply the patches with the 
addpatches shell script.

Installation 

The addpatches shell script is very useful to apply the 
patch set. Here are the basic commands how to build a new kernel 
with -jp patches: 

Download 2.4.18 Linux kernel sources 
Unpack into /usr/src/linux 
Download -jp patch set 
Unpack into your patchdir 
cd patchdir 
sh addpatches
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules
su
make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.1X-preX-jpX
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz.2.4.1X-preX-jpX
 edit /etc/lilo.conf 
lilo
 reboot ... and take a deep breath! You are running a jp kernel now!   

Contact 

You feel happy with a jp kernel? Just let me know if my work is good 
for you. 

Feel free to contact me, send e-mail to joerg@infolinux.de 
I try to help as much as I can. It's fun to hack the Linux kernel! 
If you are lucky, you can find me hanging out at IRC: #kernelnewbies at 
irc.openprojects.net Credits to all the fine people out there. 

You have successfully booted a -jp kernel? You want to know if your 
system can run a -jp kernel? If you like to send your 'dmesg' output 
of successful booting into a -jp kernel, please let me know about 
your system. Please attach the system name, your kernel '.config' 
and other valuable information in your mail. Also, I like to know 
if certain hardware or .config's don't work, or when build errors 
occur. I will add this information on my web page. 

You are missing a patch? Patches will be added by request. 
Please be patient, some patches must be carefully tested.
