Indeed!
I have noticed that 2.6.0 seems to have the same codes for mremap.c,
shouldnt 2.6.1 merge the following patch before release ?

Hmm. Does this "postpone" all stuff that already went into
2.4.24-preX? Like XFS... Just for my ignorance :-)
Thanks

Yes.
The 2.4.24-pre tree with all its modifications becomes 2.4.25-pre.

Probably when marcelo thinks there are enough changes to make another -pre
release.
Now the real question is will it be 2.4.25-pre4 or 2.4.25-pre1? ;)

I have asked because on one machine (with heavy load) i have problems
with 2.4.23 and 2.4.24-pre* - crashes without any information (no oops)
in logs file or console (connected via RS). Only blank screen. Sync or
umount via SysRq doesn't work, only (re)boot. System is RH 9, ext3
2x2.66GHz (with HT), aic79xx, 4GB RAM +4GB swap.

Hi Lukasz,
Which kernels work on this box?
Have you tried any other 2.4.x or 2.6.x ?

Yes, most of 2.4.X Most of them works well, except (2.4.20?-22 was problem
with aplication like slocate or amanda backup running on big ext3 area).
