4K STACKS

The nvidia people have been given fair warning. 

I was "harassing" them on their bulletin board:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

UNTIL they started getting very arrogant and basically
stating that you were lucky with what you got.  And
they did not work with that team until AFTER the
release (whereas they probably work with microsoft
during beta -- making sure their drivers are fine when
the distribution is released).

FYI - this was a snippit from the 2.6.5-bk1 changelog
and from what I can figure out -- 8K stacks are
DISAPPEARING completely -- it is just that Fedora Core
2 is bleeding edge with beta testing it. (which is
what I prefer)

Everyone here should be signing up for there bulletin
board and "harassing" them until they finally "release
a beta" to work with 4K stacks :p

----------------

Below is a snippit from kernel.org's changelong for
the latest 2.6.5-? submitted changes....

ChangeSet at 1.1713.18.181, 2004-04-12 13:18:43-07:00,
.... at osdl.org
[PATCH] ia32: 4Kb stacks (and irqstacks) patch

....

At present 4k stacks are selectable in config. When
the feature has settled
in we should remove the 8k option. This will break the
nvidia modules. But
Fedora uses 4k stacks so a new nvidia driver is
expected soon.
