We do have some swap used, but we're back to having very little actual swapping, and over a gig of the used memory is disk cache, which means it's working for us and it can be taken over by apps if they need it. Purring along nicely, reaction time seems good. So far I'm pleased. :) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Unless it's for blanking a terminal screen attached to it, if there is one. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y unless the host actually uses this chipset CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING=y I KNOW it isn't a PII or other Pentium CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=253 CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000 I think this was the default SCSI controller, I know I also found SYM53C8XX added. I would favour keeping the module support, though. Otherwise, yeah, what Thomas said. -- John R.
