For those who are interested..
I have taken the kgdb patch for 2.4.0-test9 and ported it to 2.4.0.
This is a minimal patch, and doesn't include any of the documentation
or supporting programmes. It can be found at:

No, it is not a common idiom in C. It has _never_ been valid C.

OK, take two. This patch:

o adds new /proc/sys/vm/max-async-pages
o updates documentation

You need to distinguish between SCSI-the-protocol and
SCSI-the-physical-layer. The term "SCSI" alone is simply too

Hi,
following happened on my well-known SMP VIA based GA6VXD7 motherboard.
Last week on Thursday I decided to connect printer to the box. To do that
I had to switch parallel port mode from ECP to Normal (because of I
had problems with that printer). Today I found, that since that time

I have had no luck finding a bigmem patch for the 2.0.x kernel. I am in
the situation where I would rather not update the kernel, do I have
any options?

It's because the virtual address space for userspace tasks gets reduced

Not very portable at all...

And have identical bad problems with auth failures.
Actually, I believe their sunrpc library uses an extended error
facility via the streams APIs that

I don't think it's too much to ask that one actually tries to
communicate with an author of a piece of code before making such
major changes and submitting them opting for inclusion in the
kernel.
Jes, I
OK, I built XFree86 4.0.2 and DRI seems to be working for me now under
2.4.0-ac4. (Starting with 2.4.0, it wouldn't, this is with an ATI XPert 2000
AGP).
BUT - although /var/log/XFree86.0.log documents the startup of DRI, DRM and AGP,
and states the info about their initialization and stuff so

Err, I should have mentioned that the configs I used for .17 and .18 are
identical, too. Machine is a dual celeron 450 on a asus p2b-ds (Adaptec
aic78xx SCSI), via-rhine ethernet, and nvidia tnt2 ultra.

I probably missed a message or note or something about this, but when I went
from 2.2.17 to 2.2.18, my sound card (SB Live!) stopped working. It seems
that in 2.2.18, it gets detected TWICE:
