Hi,

is somebody actually using the preemptive kernel patches ...

Yes I do on 2.4.20 and 2.4.22 from kernel.org. So far all seems
to work but didn't do any measurements on it.

So you're using vanilla 2.4.22 on your MPC8xx board!?

yes, am I stupid?

Currently I use smc uart, scc ethernet and a modified
cpm_spi driver (from the great Denx) with interrupt handling,
my 850 board boots ok from nfsroot

(I both use the preempt and low-latency patches)

Sound interessting.
Could you please give me a link to find the mentioned "low-latency patches".

it comes from Andrew Morton's page
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/schedlat.html

I you have to enable this by hand in arch/ppc/config.in (look at
arch/i386/config.in) with

bool 'Low latency scheduling' CONFIG_LOLAT
dep_bool 'Control low latency with sysctl' CONFIG_LOLAT_SYSCTL
$CONFIG_LOLAT

Thanks,

Steven
