Comment 17 luoyan 2008-09-01 04:28:23 UTC
Our machine has problem when accessing phisical address of 38 bit .
can I get the patch which is the only one to solve this problem?
because we have already modified the old kernel  kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm.It is too difficult for us to maintain two different kernel.
If I can solve the problem by only apply one patch (), we can spend less time on it.
Now I decompress the by execute:
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-55.0.12.EL.src.rpm
and get a lot of patches , but I don't know which one can solve the problem.

I know it has something to do with cpuinfo_x86
so I type

grep cpuinfo -l -r kernel-2.6.9-55.0.12.EL
