It should be quite hard not to have an answer to your E-mail, so here his mine...
I have remade the patch for Gujin kernel.kgz boot file, for 2.6.15 and 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 and uploaded it to: http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gujin/linux-gujin-patch.tar.gz how to use this file simply documented in: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=382630&group_id=15465
The main change from: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112859209607340&w=4 is a bug (predecrement instead of postdecrement) on the array of IDE interfaces found so there is no more any bogus "ide0=0x..." parameter passed to the kernel command line. Another modification is the documentation of PHYSICAL_START configuration parameter to load and execute the kernel at another physical address, to change that parameter you need to enable General setup ---> Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) and you have the address in: Processor type and features ---> Physical address where the kernel is loaded Gujin can load those files starting at any address, and you can check in /proc/zoneinfo that "Node 0, zone DMA" is nearly completely free when loaded and run at 16 Mb (i.e. 0x1000000) - but I know that some configuration still have problem at this address - but do not know why. Other changes are the removal of most '//' comments and replacement of some inline constants with '#define'.
If this patch would better go in -mm tree, then a cumulative patch is included in the sourceforge linux-gujin-patch.tar.gz ; if you think that this patch shall be around for a longer time, then I will try to keep this sourceforge location up to date - and just send a reminder times to times to the list. I would enjoy to read any comment you may have on Gujin. Have fun, Etienne.
