The instant bugzilla is the apparent result of our exchange. I replied to the private inquiry thusly: [quote] A workaround is in place in the -mm kernel tree. http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm-commits&m=118764750020317&w=2 I expect it will be pushed into the 2.6.24 kernel series. Fedora intends to pick up the patch for F7 in the near future. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249511 Even without the patch, you can boot with mem=3900 on the kernel command line and you won't hit the problem. [/quote] In related news, Jeff appears poised to push the patch (with loathing) into netdev. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
