[I've been offline for a week due to using bad memory while trying to flash a BIOS. Naturally it crashed, and I couldn't boot my main machine. I ended up ordering a pre-flashed BIOS chip from two states a way... and waiting the few days for it to ship. I feel like I'm just back from the dead! =:^) ] Hmm... perhaps it's elsewhere in the 2.6.26 kernel config. I'm now running 2.6.31, and will be starting on the 2.6.32 rcs in a week or two... It's also possible it's turned off and not even available to you due to some other dependency. I'd try tracing it if I hadn't just fallen a week behind, just to see. You can grep "PROC__PAGE_MONITOR" in the kernel sources and see what comes up if you want. That's what I'd do, tho having done stuff like that before I might be better equipped to filter out the uninteresting entries. But you gotta start somewhere. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
