Unfortunately, I can not get the user test to run against anything but the SLES9 SP2 kernel. I took the commit 4ceb5db9757aaeadcf8fbbf97d76bd42aa4df0d6 and applied that diff to the SUSE kernel. It does fix the problem the customer reported. Thanks, Robin Holt -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
