All,
Here is a patch I have put together (with much assistance from Jens Axboe)
that permits ps2esdi machines to boot again. It is against 2.4.3. In
case my mailer mangles it, it is also available at the following URL.

ksoftirqd will not be switched to before the first schedule

So, wake up in this case would be mistake.

I went in to my .config and disabled 640 and 640 enhanced in favor of
trying the 64x ide support. I especially liked the fact that from the
code it look to have a /proc table similar the the via driver for my

this result:

Please re-test this patch.

Hi,
I've got a dual CPU (Pentium-Pro), Adaptec 7880 SCSI adapter
machine with two 100Mbps ethernet cards (Linksys / Tulip), and a 16/4
Token-ring card (IBM Olympic chipset) in it. The kernel configuration is
attached in this email.
I installed Debian 2.2r2 and upgraded the prereq
Hi!
This allows me to use some (old and broken) AT/LANTIC boards.

Greetings,
Is anyone having problems with running more than
1 VM on 2.4.3. I have crashed my host O/S several
times when I try to start two VMs. Currently,
I don't have an oops or other info to report, but
I did see a post on the vmware list about 2.4.3 SMP
and VMWARE.
