I thought those patches were already a part of some kernels... ? I could've sworn I ...well I don't really remember *laugh* but I could've sworn I used a gentoo kernel that had those patches applied...*thinks hard* > You can also muck around with the kernel's compiler flags > in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile but again, you'll be playing with fire. blech :) well - all of this will have to wait as I - ahem - recover from a big 'ol crash (hadn't tweaked any settings yet - just total coincidence)
