[I've been offline for a week due to using bad memory while trying to=20 flash a BIOS. Naturally it crashed, and I couldn't boot my main=20 machine. I ended up ordering a pre-flashed BIOS chip from two states a=20 way... and waiting the few days for it to ship. I feel like I'm just=20 back from the dead! =3D:^) ] Hmm... perhaps it's elsewhere in the 2.6.26 kernel config. I'm now=20 running 2.6.31, and will be starting on the 2.6.32 rcs in a week or two..= . It's also possible it's turned off and not even available to you due to=20 some other dependency. I'd try tracing it if I hadn't just fallen a week= =20 behind, just to see. You can grep "PROC__PAGE_MONITOR" in the kernel=20 sources and see what comes up if you want. That's what I'd do, tho=20 having done stuff like that before I might be better equipped to filter=20 out the uninteresting entries. But you gotta start somewhere. =3D:^) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
