The first is a (very simple) fix to the parsing of the auto_msck and
del_auto_msck chandev verbs. When writing them to /proc/chandev, all you'd

Yes.
I always keep the virtual address different from the real address.

I can't help you with Oracle. We have it on our Sun systems. They are

Does SuSE have an /etc/sysctl.conf?
If so, try putting a kernel.hz_timer = 0 in it... sysctl.conf's purpose
is to hold desired values for runtime-adjustable kernel parameters (like
at boot time), and you'd probably be better served placing your values
here than needing to hunt around for it at

We're no experts but we basically use the same minidisk addresses for the
