The 2.4.0 kernel will fail to compile if the r128 DRM module is enabled

I've been having some problems with the recent 2.4.x kernels with my
digital camera. The s10sh program accesses the Canon S20 digital camera
using libusb in conjunction with usbfs to download images. Apparently,
incorrect data about the size of images is being sent down the line

I am trying to install Slackware Linux.
I boot the 2.2.17 from slackware-current series
I fdisk /dev/hda1 as 128MB Swap and /dev/hda2 as root.
I run mkswap -c -v1 /dev/hda1 - it chugs and finishes...

Hi all,
I have a server, and it reports ("netstat -a")

This sounds normal right?
However there are 79 of these lines in the netstat output. Not normal!

Has anyone ever considered including a microsecond-precision
monotonically-increasing counter in the kernel? This would allow for
easy timing of alarms and such by using absolute values of when the
alarm should expire rather than a list of deltas from previous alarms.

The only way to _assume_ a printer is online is to attempt a dummy poll for
information. Again note that this is a strong assumption as only some new printers
return data for a poll, and legacy printers control of the data port are undefined.
The poll btw needs to be done in userspace because pr
I wonder if Gnu Make 3.78.1 has the same problem?
I know of one bug in 3.78.1 where $(if ...) statements which have an
"else" clause screw up the parsing of the "else" clause. But there
shouldn't be any $(if ...) constructs in the kernel Makefiles.
I guess we'll either have to find the problem
