I just started fooling around with PR4 (previously running the available
2.4.3 XFS-patched kernel) on my RH 7.2 boxes. It seems to be working
just fine on my Athlon (PR4-athlon installed), but it's having nothing
but problems on my Pentium 150 box...
The main issues that I've found are completely not XFS related, so they may
just be 2.4.9 issues:
1) The box requires a "mem=64M" parameter appended to the kernel
parameter line (there's a memory hole at 15-16M, so the 64M can't be
detected...) No matter what the lilo.conf file says, 2.4.9PR4 will
only see 16M RAM.
2) nfsd won't start up, saying "rpc.nfsd: nfssvc: Address already in
use".
For the time being, I've reverted to the 2.4.3 kernel which works fine. Has
anyone else run into these problems?
I'm going to be switching to a new Pentium set of hardware in the near
future, which should fix that 16M problem (the current box is a Compaq w/ no
BIOS available at bootup. The "system configuration" disks don't give an
option for the memory hole...) However, I'm not sure what to make of the nfs
problem. (BTW: nfs serving on the 2.4.9PR4 athlon kernel is working fine.)
