Description Karsten Hopp 2011-09-08 15:44:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
The PPC kernel currently has
CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=y
# CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES is not set

Please change that to
# CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES is not set
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y

so that we have the same settings than RHEL-6 and can benefit from the testing that has already been done there.
Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2011-09-09 15:06:59 UTC 
After a brief discussion, this bug will change the page size on ppc64 kernels to 64k, but leave it as 4k on ppc kernels.
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2011-09-10 01:02:45 UTC 
This has been committed to f16 and rawhide.  It'll be included in the next build.
