Description fifolifo 2003-05-28 02:14:07 UTC

patches-2.4.21_rc2-gss.tar.bz2 is missing the 3.5G-address-space patch file. 
I've looked at the patch file in archiver and I can't find the address space
patch.  I went to kernel.org and looked at the AA's patch for this.  By
comparing the the diffs shown in the orig. file at kernel.org and comparing it
to what I have in /usr/src/linux, it appears that nothing with the relevant
files shown in the diff have been changed to support addres-space.

This results in the win4lin the option being unavailable in menuconfig.  Because
this setting is dependent on user address sppace setting.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gs-sources
2.relink linux to new source dir in /usr/src
3.cd /usr/src/linux
4.make menuconfig
5. try to set kernel config to compile win4lin support

Actual Results:  
I saw the menuconfig screen as usual, but I can't enable win4lin support,
because I can't meet it's dependence on user address space.

this seems to be ok in the latest version (2.4.23_pre8)... it was probably fixed before that...
