Re: Explorer's modification of CPUstress image

Hi everyone.
Here's a testing release for those who has a USB keyboard and multicore CPUs.
If there are no major problems, I'll make this one final.

CPUstress v2.2 beta2 (31 March 2013)

Updated programs:

• CPUstress now uses a kernel built by myself rather than the one from Parted Magic. The custom kernel (3.8.5-cpustress) fixes two bugs below and is more friendly to old processors (i486). It supports SMP but not PAE.
• eglibc updated to 2.17-r22665 (from 2.17-r22243).
• BusyBox is rebuilt (same version). Now "modprobe", "lsmod", and "uname" are added.

Fixes:

• The "USB keyboard not found" bug due to missing drivers. (viewtopic.php?t=14648)
• Regression that only 1 CPU can be detected. (viewtopic.php?t=14646)
• Edited "help" and "helpinfo" scripts to fix a recursive calling bug.

Changes:

• The new eglibc now require Linux kernel 3.7.5 or above. (Parted Magic 2013_01_29 has such kernel.)
• Add /etc/mdev.conf which allows loading modules on hotplug.

Notes:

• I do not test the lockup problem (viewtopic.php?t=3390) that happened in the old kernel, so I'm not sure whether it was fixed or not. If anyone has the hardware and can test it, then I appreciate for your help.
• Since Linux kernel 3.8, the i386 architecture is no longer supported. If you have 80386 you'll probably need to build a 3.7.x Linux kernel.
