Why kernel 2.4 doesn't work in Sparcs IPX?
It's a good machine and I want to continue to use Linux on it...
So please continue to use 2.2.x kernels until we get someone
to maintain the sun4c port in 2.4.x.
Later,

I just found out that there are filesystems (eg reiserfs) which write out
data even if an error ocurred, which means the unlocking must be done by
the filesystems, always.

it wasn't very stable at all (two crashes in one week) with 2.4.2. I'll be

Here is the updated version of the patch to add the priority argument to

It appears that a -EIO return from block_write_full_page() will

When you write the kernel, do you mean the driver or generic
code? I hope you mean the driver, because I have this:
1. the device looks normal at power on
2. the driver pokes a device-specific config register
3. the config space header changes from type 0 to type 1
