Very Brief Documentation: You can select a default scheduler at kernel build time. If you wish to boot with a scheduler other than the default it can be selected at boot time by adding: cpusched= to the boot command line where is one of: ingosched, nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills or zaphod. If you don't change the default when you build the kernel the default scheduler will be ingosched (which is the normal scheduler). The scheduler in force on a running system can be determined by the contents of: /proc/scheduler Control parameters for the scheduler can be read/set via files in: /sys/cpusched// Peter -- Peter Williams pwil3058@bigpond.net.au "Learning, n.
