As for the BIOS/firmware upgrade, I already have the latest one provided by
Jetway. Just as side note, this is not an Intel board. I am aware that there
was also a booting issue with openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 and D945GCLF2, but as I
stated this is a Jetway NC92-330-LF.
About the upstream commit:
If you take a look at the thread I mentioned earlier, I managed to install
openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 on it but, with a kotd
v2.6.29-rc5-git3-master_20090221181736_632072f6-default kernel. I also
installed the kernel-source rpm for that kernel and took a look if that patch
was present. It is not. There is no __flush_tlb_all(); on split_large_page
function and the kernel still boots.
Because I also have a r8169 NIC RX issue ( also trying to solve with r8169
maintainer ), I also found out that, if I compile any kernel without NUMA and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the problem will not occur.
One can disable NUMA on a boot line with numa=off but, I do not know how to
disable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. This could be of some help to users trying to
install openSUSE 11.1 on hardware such as mine.
Hope this is enough.
