Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org > ... Linus is not applying them Shouldn't that be "Marcelo is not applying them"? Linus has devolved all responsibility for 2.4 now, and is concentrating on the 2.5 series and all its radical changes. Marcelo objected to Andrea's mega-patch, but if I recall, he hinted that me might start merging the split-up patches for 2.4.20 - in the meantime, you can always apply the latest -aa patch yourself to a 2.4.19-pre kernel. Otherwise, the Red Hat patched kernel (which I believe still doesn't use Andrea's VM at all) ought to work well, with all their spiffy regression testing etc....
