I've created patches for:
linux-2.4.2
linux-2.4.3
linux-2.4.4
I haven't tested against RH7.1 trees yet (for linux-2.4.2-2),
but I have tried out the linux-2.4.4 tree against
a RH 7.1 installed system, and it died in 'kudzu', believe
it or not (got a great dump, too ...) So the patches should
work just fine.
In any case, you can get it from:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/lkcd/download/current/v2.4-kernel-patches
Note I didn't fix the 3.1.3/README file yet, and I can't
fix it until tomorrow.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Fixed issues:
Moved alloc_kiovec() from dump_execute() to dump_open()
(this should be sufficient for now -- although highmem
is still a concern)
Removed all smp_send_stop() calls. Sure, for i386, you
can leave it in, but it was breaking ia64. So I decided
to remove it until a more complete solution is found,
even if it is architecture-dependant.
Thanks, all. This should correct most of the little annoyances
people were seeing with the 2.4.[234] series.
BTW, is it just me, or is linux-2.4.5 broken in general? There
were lots of problems with just building the tree, much less
running against it.

P.S. If people need a linux-2.4.0 or linux-2.4.1 diff, let me
know. I didn't hear back from anyone.
