Hi,
I'm trying to test the IPSec, but haven't been able to get the new
update onto the remote computer due to problems that appear to be based
on memory management. The bootloader uses tmpfs to build a file system
and it's dying there.
On the development server, I'm getting such nifty things as:
root@s3:/mfxlinux/Npublish# grep -ri Slackware *
Build_Modules.sh:Base="Slackware"
Build_Modules.sh: if [ "$Base" = "Slackware" ]; then
Build_Modules.sh: Line=${Line/"RedHat"/"Slackware"}
Build_Modules.sh: Line=${Line/"Slackware"/"RedHat"}
Initial/etc/Base:Slackware
grep: memory exhausted
root@s3:/mfxlinux/Npublish#
The memory exhausted is not nice. 2GB ram on this server. Runs fine when
I rev to 2.6.10-rc2. Obviously something else is broken in bk12.

Also, Herbert's email system is blocking messages from my zone. If you
can forward to him, that would be appreciated.

Re the bk12, is there just 1 patch that I should install to 2.6.10-rc2
to test IPSec? If I don't fiddle with the mm code, we might be able to
make some progress on this part. I just love simultaneous equations with
1000 or more variables... ;-)

Quite likely.
Bill, can you please try the latest BK tree and see if you can
still reproduce the hang?
The patch is not in Linus's tree yet, so you need to apply it
yourself.
Regards
Patrick
