I don't mean to walk on folks but I did make a patch that brings the ac27
version from aic7xxx-6.1.5 to aic7xxx-6.1.8. I've compiled it and inserted it
and removed it without any of the hanging problems I encountered before. But
the tests stopped there, no guarantees from me, I wish I could ;-)
Hi,
I'm running kernel 2.4.3-pre8 on an ASUS A7V (BIOS 1007) motherboard and
recently noticed that it sometimes corrupts my hard disk, an IBM 75GXP on
the onboard PDC20265 IDE controller. The corruption is detectable with a
simple 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=test bs=16384 count=32768; cp test test2
I posted the following to tcpdump-workers. They think I should ask here...
I was almost certain the following kernel oops occurred during packet
capture.
The packet received was an arp request. Syslog indicated the kernel received
the arp request. My pcap application captures arp packet as

OK, some new information. Apparently, the ethernet traffic is getting
corrupted by heavy disk access to the second disk on my primary ALI
5229 controller. I suspect this is related to the oops, as the kernel
log messages reporting the errors tend to come roughly at the same
time as the oopses.

I know on ACPI systems you are guaranteed a PM timer running at ~3.57 Mhz.
Could udelay use that, or are there other timers that are better (maybe
without the ACPI dependency)?

The default config is what boots on Linus' machine. Once you realise
that your life get a lot easier. ;)

Interesting -- this seems to be the only card of the set that actually has
drivers available for download, although the D-Link card has drivers for
an older GigE card listed.

Notice that this is not 100%
I am posting this mail here because I have tried posting on many news
groups, but no one seems to know how. Also, I did read documentation but
could not figure out how to do this in Linux 2.4 kernel

Hello, All:
I have a situation where a Dell laptop would loose its
keyboard after resume (thanks to Ben LaHaise for
diagnosing this probelm). BIOS enables touchpad
when resumed and if a user touches touchpad, "hardware"
delivers IRQ 12 and will not deliver IRQ 1 until we
process the mouse event.

Are you using fbcon? If so, and if it goes away after starting X, then it is
the "fbcon kills interrupt latency" problem.

I've seen similar bugs. If you hook something on schedule_tq and forget
to set current->need_resched, this is exactly what you get.

If an application calls the USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB ioctl to submit a read,
when the async completion routine is called, the kernel goes into a hard
deadlock (no response to ping, etc.). I've narrowed it down to the
async_completed routine in usb.c. That's the only place where spinlocks
are
Hello,
I've moved from kernel 2.2.16 to 2.4.2 (RH7) and its boots OK, except
for the fact that none of the modules in "/etc/modules.conf" are loaded
anymore (although modules were enabled in kernel config). In
"/lib/modules" I see two directories: 2.2.16 and 2.4.2 (which I assume
is the default

Rebuild your kernel and make sure CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is set to "Y".

Sorry to bother but it seems that the patchlet is still not good
enough... problems at linkage or something:
O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
-march=athlon -c -o iodebug.o iodebug.c
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.3-pre8/include -Wall
