Re: 2.6.23: does it supposed to work on an i486?



Well, I applied the patch (in 2.6.23 it's
arch/i386/boot/pmjump.S,
not
arch/x86/boot/pmjump.S,
but that's minor) - still the same behavior, it still reboots
instantly right when bootloader gave control to the kernel.
So it must be something else.. ;)

It should be x86, they merged the i386 and x86_64 code into one arch
called x86. Try it again and see if it works

Thanks,
