Bug#390759: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686: HIGHMEM use is due to VMSPLIT change
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686
Version: 2.6.18-2
Followup-For: Bug #390759
Hi,
I figured out that the difference between 2.6.17 and 2.6.18 is due to
the different VMSPLIT options in use; 2.6.17 explicitly set
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, but since CONFIG_EMBEDDED is disabled in 2.6.18,
the value used is the default CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G.
I guess there's a reason behind the change...
Anyway, the attached patch fixes the bug.
Regards,
Stephen
