I wish to drop it for now firstly because (and this is my fault) I ignored for it a bit too long and the testing version is *way* out of date. I'd like .10 in testing at least for those architectures that support it out-of-the-box. I am happy to (and intended to) put powerpc back in when it can work. > Is it the new sys_migrate_pages that isn't hooked (yet) on powerpc ? Yes; but worse at the moment because upstream manually calls syscall 280, which is just wrong (this is what the current version in unstable is doing, which is another reason to get rid of it for now). If you get it wired up in the kernel, and Andi fixes up libnuma I'm happy to put it all back together again. -i
