(The > lockdep tracer patch will still apply cleanly ontop of the combo patch.) Actually, I noticed that the tracer patch applied with fewer offsets (i.e. "more cleanly," in a sense) with the lockdep-combo patch applied first, so I did that. I'm doing building the kernel, but I haven't been able to boot it yet: This system boots the kernel off floppy disks, and under 2.6.17-rc5-mm2, the floppy drive no longer works! The disk spins but the kernel can't read any of the disk's sectors, even for other known-working floppies. I'll have to boot back into 2.6.17-rc4-mm3 before I can copy the new kernel onto a disk and boot from it. That will take me a couple of minutes, although I have to go to school in under an hour so I might not get to it until later today. Oh, wait, let me try a sadistic experiment first: Let's see if I can format a floppy disk with the floppy drive in this non-functioning state... no, "/dev/fd0: Read-only file system", 100% reproducible. -- -Barry K.
