======================= This is a commercial posting from a mailing list to which you have subscribed. Past postings are available from our web site at <http://www.xig.com/Lists/summit-announce>. ======================= There is a new xsvc rpm available in ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/ that attempts to work around issues seen with Redhat's version of remap_page_range() included with their latest 2.4.20 kernels. The previous version of xsvc would try to autodetect this case, but the hack has started showing up in other new RH kernels for RH versions other tha v9. Here is a snippet from the Revision History section of the README.xsvc file: This version adds an environment variable that an be used to force the workaround, not use the workaround, or try to auto detect the problem (default). If, while installing the RPM or compiling manually, you are getting errors related to remap_page_range() being called with too few arguements, try the following before installing the RPM or manually compiling: export RH9_REMAPHACK=1 This will force the workaround. If the workaround is being used, when it shouldn't (ie: you get an error that there are *too many* arguments to remap_page_range()), try: export RH9_REMAPHACK=0 The default case is to try to autodetect this mess. Then, re-install the RPM, or to rebuild build manually: cd /usr/src/xig/xsvc make clean make make install NOTE: This issue only affects recent redhat kernels. -- Jon Trulson work: mailto:jon@xxxxxxx, home: mailto:jon@xxxxxxxxxxx Xi Graphics, Inc. http://www.xig.com ID: 1A9A2B09, FP: C23F328A721264E7 B6188192EC733962 PGP keys at http://radscan.com/~jon/PGPKeys.txt #include <stddisclaimer.h> The avalanche has already started.
