it seems, that the mutation in net/sock.h from sock_filter to sk_filter
has not reached all code, drivers/net/loopback won't compile if
CONFIG_FILTER is defined. No further checks have been done, so further
failures may occure.
maybe next patch will fix it?

Subject: modules 2.1.121 under 2.2 kernel
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 20:42:39 -0500
I'm having a hard time getting the assorted module utilities to work under V2.2.
I have been running V2.0.35 for a long time now and before that, V1.2.8! I have
upgraded all neccessary software required for V2.2 and built and tested
everything along the way. I think everything is OK. I even have glibc 2 working
now!
Anyway, when I boot into 2.2, and run "depmod -ae" I get the following list of
unresolveds: I also get the same sort of thing if I try to do an explicit insmod
of a module.
/lib/modules/default/net/dummy.o: unresolved symbol(s)

So what am I doing incorrectly?
Also, I've noticed that modprobe and its relatives (insmod, etc) seem to make
entries in syslog and so forth with a time in GMT. How can I get them to log in
local time (EST)?
I can't insmod anything. I always get those unresolveds! What am I doing wrong?
I am using modutils 2.1.121, as required. And I've built and rebuilt the kernel
and the few modules I have so far under V2.2, but still I get the unresolveds.
(I know I don't really need to insmod anything, that kmod will do it for me -
I'm just testing since *no* modules ever get loaded under V2.2 for me.)
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Permanent ARP attribute cancellation in 2.0.36 but not in 2.2
Date: 01 Mar 1999 11:39:10 +0100
I' encountering a problem when transferring (tftp) large binary files
from a linux box to a bootp client. This problem relates to arp cache
expiration when the client is not able to answer to arp queries.
The problem is the following :
+ when downloading a large file (~50MB) through tftpboot on a
client machine (configured with bootpd) the server (debian w/ kernel
2.0.36 or 2.2) loses the MAC (Ethernet) address of the client (ARP
entry for the client is expiring and is deleted from the cache).
For some unknown reason, the client is unable to answer to 'arp
requests' send by the server for reinstalling the MAC address
in the ARP table. So no further communication between the two
machines can occur after the on-going tftp transfert ends.
+In order to avoid the ARP entry expiration, I defined a
permanent arp entry for the mac address. But different kernels seems
to inconsistently treat the setarp operation done by bootpd : in
v2.0.36 the permanent flag is deleted from the arp entry while
this is not the case with 2.2. Not to say that v2.0.36
behavior is a big problem for me :)
So my question is 'what behaviour should I treat as correct ?' :
+Setting an already existing permanent entry in an ARP table
should delete the permanent flag associated to it. (2.0.36)
+Setting an already existing permanent entry in an ARP table
does not modify entries attributes. (2.2)
I do not want to upgrade our production machines to 2.2. yet. So ...
in case 2.0.36 is the problem, does anybody has an idea of any
workaround I could use?
Thanks,
J.-M. Kubek

Yes, you can use the NT boot loader. Below are the instructions:

What I have done that will allow you to choose which OS to boot using the NT
boot loader is to load lilo on "root" partition. DO NOT have it replace the
master boot record. Then if you do the following with the appropriate changes
of course:
dd if=/dev/sda2 bs=512 count=1 of=/c/bootsect.lnx
assuming your linux root partition is /dev/sda2 and you have your NT boot
partition mounted on /c. This will create a 512 byte file that is a copy of
your boot sector on your NT boot drive. Now, change the attributes of the
boot.ini file on the NT boot drive so you can edit it and add a line similar
to the following:
c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
Then you will now have a choice between the OS's that you had before and now
linux will show up as a choice. The only problem with this method is that the
bootsect.lnx needs to be updated every time you run lilo, like if you update
the kernel. Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: NFS Data Corruption between Linux 2.2.x and SunOS 5.5.1
Date: 07 Mar 1999 11:59:41 +0000
I've a SMP box that has real NFS problems. These are of two types, file
corruption and kernel messages. The file corruption is hard to track
down, eth0 is a Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 and I've had people report
that copying megabytes from the Linux box (sometimes to Solaris 2.5.1)
causes corruption. Once I saw the result, there were two null bytes
inserted or substituted on some 8192 byte block boundaries.
The kernel messages are easier, when remote mounting a HP-UX machine
(here called sauce) the first ls on a large directory gives:
NFS: server sauce, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=162, slots=3, len=28
What ls sees isn't truncated though. Also, I see messages of the form:
__nfs_fhget: inode 952434 busy, i_count=2, i_nlink=1
nfs_free_dentries: found kr10000/tempf10dtst4, d_count=0, hashed=1
nfs_dentry_delete: kr10000/tempf10dtst4: ino=952434, count=2, nlink=1
I'm currently running 2.2.2 and I've seen the problems since 2.1.*, I've
tried various -ac patches, disabling SMP, and had a go with knfsd.

I am using a RedHat Linux 5.2 and am attempting to compile a addon

"you must now run tar_cat to regenerate your platform-specific makefile"

Yes I built the kernel correctly. And the link under /lib/modules for
default is set correctly and I am running the correct version of modutils.
I tried to verify that all the obvious sort of stuff was not the problem.
And I did refer to several checklists along the way when I upgraded from 2.0
to 2.2 and when I installed glibc. I think I've been careful.
I don't know how to proceed and without modules, I can't use the 2.2 kernel
- as part of ppp is always built as a module, according to the documentation,
and without ppp I can't connect to the Internet.

Those parts of ppp aren't required for it to work.

You're using the wrong device for this task. Try again with /dev/nst0 .

Ok, thanks guys :) that wasn't totally obvious.. I remember reading about
that in the scsi howto, but there it sounded more like st0/nst0 was used
depending on the HW's capabilities instead of the user using it to select
rewinding/non-rewinding operations. I'll hammer with nst0 next time it's
backup time!
