First, a big Thanks to Caleb Cushing, Javier Barrio, and Brian Kroth for |
| 2 |
generously offering their assistance to this newbie; both in getting |
| 3 |
the configuration repaired, and in starting with iptables which seems |
| 4 |
presently necessary in order to firewall the '20x kernel series. It's |
| 5 |
easy to lurk; thankfully these guys stepped up. |

Second, please let me correct an earlier suggestion that 2.6.20-r2 is |
| 8 |
slow; 'tain't so. It is faster'n blazes (now that it is configured |
| 9 |
properly.) |

Don't know exactly what went wrong, as I had "* other issues" along the |
| 12 |
way. The settings that were changed, and might have been the problem: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- Changing the PAX "default non-executable page method" from pageexec |
| 15 |
to setmexec. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- Changing the preemption model from server to low-latency desktop. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* The "other issues" include the fact that bzimage has been renamed to |
| 20 |
bzImage, which caused my compilation script to fail - something I |
| 21 |
didn't initially notice - and which obviated some of my tests to |
| 22 |
determine what specifically went wrong. |
