man bootparam doesn't answer this. Googling is proving fruitless. Anyone know where this elevator parameter is documented, or what it means? -- "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

You have to install the kernel source package. Try googling as-iosched..... I get http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=8925 and http://linux-bangalore.org/blug/ meetings/200401/scheduler-2.6.pdf Regards Paul -- Paul Hewlett (Linux #359543) Email:`echo az.oc.evitcaten@ttelweh | rev` Tel: +27 21 852 8812 Cel: +27 72 719 2725 Fax: +27 86 672 0563 --

Yes, thanks. But I also get http://kerneltrap.org/node/843 which suggests that the document was missing at some stage and a patch was needed to provide it. Given that it is still missing even after my installing the kernel source, that suggests, maybe, that Suse have not applied the patch, or it's somewhere else. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/

Ah I see now - my 9.1 machine has it but my 9.2 does not. I note that when I googled that someone had removed the as-iosched.txt file. See http://www.linux-m32r.org/pipermail/kernel-2.6-cvs/2004-August/000121.html which appears to have been a mistake... Can I send you the copy from my 9.1 machine ?

Thands. That ultimately that leads to what I really wanted: http://www.kernelhq.cc/browse-view.py?fv_nr=215658 -- "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

Before posting, I gave SuSE help center a half hour to index, after which if found elevator nowhere. That file is not on my system, but http://www.kernelhq.cc/browse-view.py?fv_nr=215658 now is as kernel-parameters.html. -- "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
