I am currently unable to test the patches against a standard debian kernel since I need the tproxy patch from balabit on the given machine at the moment. However, the first patch (0001-1.1938.134.1.patch) was already applied against the kernel I tested and really seemed to help with cdrom access. Not sure why though, since cdrom access was already possible before but sometimes created read errors (silent ones) on large transfers. With the patch installed, these seem to have vanished. I was able to patch in the second patch (0001-1.1966.19.1.patch), but the resulting kernel always ooopsed because the kernel modules seemed corrupted. So, unless I find a second machine to install our bridge/tproxy software on, I actually don't have much of a chance to do further tests. However, my results look interesting: The patch that I would expect to fix the read errors doesn't work at all for me. The patch that shouldn't change much on my system actually fixed the read errors. Weird. If I am able to reproduce the problems on a second machine (or do further tests on the machine I already have), I will report back. cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
