I've probably debugged more operating systems under more varied
environments than nearly anyone here
Which one of them was %100 distributed where no two of the developers
were in the same building and
I agree about needing to know all of the tools in the tool chest, including
the hand ones. Nothing in what I've said about needing to include the
debugger has been an argument against *also* having a full chest of other
tools.
On the other hand, Linus is wrong, and your attempt to defend him is

Hi,
The problem is this: in 2.4.0-test8 someone sent in a patch that removed
the #ifdef MODULE, #endif pair from around the module initialization
routines in drivers/scsi/sr.c and drivers/scsi/sd.c and changed them
from the older style init_module()/cleanup_module() syntax to the newer
style

Hello,
I have a heavy workload to benchmark a proxy server and it generates over
1000 simultaneous sessions requesting files of different sizes.
I have two seperate problems that I would like clarified:
1. On the newer versions of the kernel, 2.4.XXX I see way too many connect

Guys,
All I wanted was a function that allows the driver to decide that which
needs to be enabled.
pci_enable_device(struct pci_dev *dev, byte enable_mask)
This would allow drivers to enable that which it needs and not weird out
the hardware that does not like all of this extra fluff.

That's another case where the SCSI layer is module dependent. If it's a
module, we use the "init_module()" in

radio-miropcm20.c. (Thanks to Markus Kuhn and Ruurd Reitsma.)
The patch is for 2.4.0-test8 and makes the aci lowlevel driver working
again!
During testing with test8 I found a bug in soundcard.c. The second

Thanks for looking at the patch. Yes, sorry, I misunderstood the linux
linked list implementation. This is easy to fix though. See new patch

You know 2.4.0-test1-ac22-class++ beaten 2.4.0-test1-ac22-riel++ under low
memory scenario, right?

No, kernel memory is not swappable.
