Here's the pci.c patch from test12-pre6. Does anything in this patch
look like it might cause the cardbus device detection and calling of
hotplug to break?
diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.4.0-test11/linux/drivers/pci/pci.c
linux/drivers/pci/pci.c
--- v2.4.0-test11/linux/drivers/pci/pci.c
There was also a big change to pci/setup_bus.c and pci/setup_bus.h
from Ivan Kokshaysky in test12-pre6. Those changes seem like another
likely candidate.

Hi Linus,
I've noticed you changed bdflush to do synchronous IO on page_launder().
That seems to be a performance problem, since kflushd will have to wait
for dirty buffers to get synced instead looping on the inactive dirty

Here is a patch to change this.

Mind checking out the current prerelease-diff? It fixes this, and cleans
up some remaining things (now that we don't task-switch into bdflush for
all our cleanup, 'nrefill' should really be much lower to get smoother
behavior).

Well, let me qualify that better. The problems were not really bad before

Hi,
I got wondering as to whether the various journaling file system
activities were designed to survive the occasional unclean shutdown or

Hi Alan,
I sent this one-liner to Linus ages ago but he didn't notice it. The bug
is obvious -- the goal of microcode_init() is to succeed at least in one
of either devfs or misc registration.

Well, not completely. There is now this option "nohide" on /etc/exports

I would check the Tyan pages for bios upgrades. I had to upgrade my bios
(gigabyte bxd dual cpu board) before w2k accepted the acpi tables.
Linux still refuses to accept the acpi tables :-(

Thanks to Neil and everyone else who helped me understand this one.
Here's my summary of what I've been told and what I've discovered:
The port 800-n is indeed the source port that is used for NFS
communications for the filesystem. Using tcpdump, we see

I've been using a maxtor udma/66 13.6GB drive on the hpt366 for over a
year now with no problems whatsoever... even in udma/66 mode (also with
several different BIOS revisions). I have not however, ever been able
to get a cdrom to work on this controller either in windows 98/NT or in
linux 2.2/2.
