===================================================

(authenticated:madodel@[24.238.72.67])
From: madodelDESPAM@ptdprolog.net
*** Warning *** Do NOT use these kernels on Pentium Pro systems.
[Moderator note: As always these are not officially supported by IBM
unless they tell you to use them.
Download from <ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/>
**** Please send any followup to comp.os.os2.bugs on usenet. ****
Also note that files are only on IBM's testcase for 2-3 days, so if you
want to try these get them now. Make certain you back up any files
replaced and don't try these on a production system. Read any readme file
before applying any changes. If your system is working well, and you have
no problems addressed by these updates, do yourself a favour and don't
mess with this. You have been warned.
The UNI and SMP files are for WSeB/ACP/eCS Pro (SMP kernel) and the W4
files are for post FP15/MCP versions, including eComStation. Only use the
SMP kernel on a machine with more then one CPU.]
From the readme file:
20041103 14.100d
WITHDRAWN
20041105 14.100e
****** WARNING: Do NOT use this version on a Pentium Pro machine.
For the benefit of everyone else, I have temporarily removed a
workaround for a P-Pro chip bug. This will improve performance
under heavy load by a few percent for all other machines by
correctly aligning the IDT entry.
JR20486 More sys3175 during bootup on Pentium 4s (and maybe Opterons?)
with >512mb of RAM
- changedd vmco_s to be 8 bytes instead of 5. This will break tools that
depended on that length and will use an extra 184kb of resident memory.
However, it greatly speeds up some memory management operations.
20041210 14.100g
20041214 14.100h
20041215 14.100i
WITHDRAWN (kernel causes machines with older CPUs to hang on boot)
20041216 14.100j
20041216 14.100k
****** SEE WARNING UNDER 20041105
** Experimental: Changed realmode transition code again to try to make
all CPUs happy with APM and TESTCFG.
JR20486 (again): Even more P4-related changes. Athlon64 likely still not
working reliably (or supported).
- os2dump and os2ldr LBA changes in 20041105 backed out
- *Very* small timing hole caused trap 3 in SwitchNPX
20050112 14.100m
****** SEE WARNING UNDER 20041105
PJ30111 Trap 000E in _vmAliasToAlias (only during debugging?)
20050113 14.100n
****** SEE WARNING UNDER 20041105
- IPE _SelFreeGDT invalid selector when freeing a ring 3 GDT selector
that is also the highest allocated gsel.
20050129 14.100o
****** SEE WARNING UNDER 20041105
- Ring 3 NPX error could result in trap 000e
