[lc-devel] trooble when apply patch on kernel 2.4.19-16mdk

[boboss <lor...@fr...>]

HELLO,
i think your work is very interesting so i've decided to test your new
patch for 2.4.19 kernel. my computer is a laptop with 256 Mb memory
(32Mb shared by video) with an amd 1600xp cpu.I use linux mandrake 9 as
main system. The kernel has already been compiled to get optimization
and acpi working. However, when i apply the
patch-comp-cache-2.4.19-0.24pre4.bz2, i get some errors (it seems
something is rejected)...well i don't know if this is normal, but I try
to compile kernel. I get a new problem when compiling kernel when
arrived at mmap.o
I join you a file text in order to give you an idea.
Sorry for my poor english because i'm french, i hope you could make
something for the patch.
Thanks for your help.

patch against 2.4.19-16mdk attached. No guarantee for functionality.

Latest mdk kernel has AA-VM applied. We know that there may be some issue=
s=20
with AA-VM and Compcache (sometimes system stops to react for ~ 2-3 secon=
ds)

Check it out! :)

We have to be very careful when fixing these rejects. Once I helped
Con Kolivas to make compressed cache work with his patchset (which had
AA), but I could not make it work properly only fixing the rejects
(that's why he never released the CK8 :-). Anyway, if you, Boboss,
have any issue running compressed cache, let us know.

That's right. That one the issue Con reported. Marc, were you able to
reproduce these hangs? I haven't had time to dig into this problem
yet.
