I am not able to manage for 2.4 the big job that Matthew did for 2.6, also i hope that this stuff will help: --- linux-2.4.27-rc3-pa6mm/arch/parisc/kernel/sys_parisc32.c.Orig 2004-07-30 11:07:29.935992560 +0200 +++ linux-2.4.27-rc3-pa6mm/arch/parisc/kernel/sys_parisc32.c 2004-07-30 11:17:38.881418784 +0200 @@ -1195,14 +1195,13 @@ if (err) goto out; - if (!type_page) { - err = -EINVAL; - goto out; + if (type_page) { + is_smb = !strcmp((char *)type_page, SMBFS_NAME); + is_ncp = !strcmp((char *)type_page, NCPFS_NAME); + } else { + is_smb = is_ncp = 0; } - is_smb = !strcmp((char *)type_page, SMBFS_NAME); - is_ncp = !strcmp((char *)type_page, NCPFS_NAME); - err = copy_mount_stuff_to_kernel((const void *)(unsigned long)data, &data_page); if (err) goto type_out; ========><======== I tested on 2.4.2[67] a time ago; it's also already applied in upstream for sparc64 arch. If it's ok for *, can somebody ci (np cvs access)? hth, Joel PS: James, do you have the opportunity to test the 2.4 kernel with this patch? (to be absolutly sure it solves the pb).
