For a while we used 64KiB pages on ppc64, because IBM insisted on it in RHEL5 and I didn't notice we'd done the same stupid thing in Fedora. I believe it was like that in FC6 but I fixed it again for F7. Is it possible that the kernel on the build machines is now similarly afflicted? -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
