In certain situations, it's possible for one of the jump labels in
drivers/net/ppp_generic.c to get mangled by a macro, causing a failure
in compilation. The following patch ameliorates this somewhat:

The netfilter configuration allowed you to illegally specify

You know, it makes me really love free OSes when I see a simple
question asked on the list, and it's answered by the guy who
writes the code!!!
Cheers to Alan, Andre, Linus, Rik, R. Gooch, Mingo, HPA and all
the rest who I forgot. You guys ROCK!

It seems a passable solution. The mtrr bug is real either way and wants a fix.
If the 2Mb reporting is wrong perhaps they will fix the bios ;)

Lest anyone think me completely clueless, yes, I'm well aware of that. It's
just that I wanted to have that warm fuzzy feeling the comes from pretending I

Hi, Folks
Another problem I meet in boot up is that the root filesystem
can be mount as readonly at first, but it fails to be mounted
as read/write during boot up, the error reported as:
The superblock can not be read or does not describe a correct
ext2 filesystem. ...

Exactly my problem. In my laptop, I have a NeoMagic 2160 which does not have use
the last 64k of video for sound buffer like the NeoMagic 256es do yet it still
reports that the memory is not video memory. Both

Maybe run make config and not make oldconfig.

Hi, folks
I meet some problem when I tried by install kernel 2.4.0
to a PC using IDE disk. It reports VFS panic error during
boot up time when it tried to mount the rootfs. The error
indicates that it can not find the driver for the harddisk,
but I already build in the IDE disk support. The hard

No comment on the code itself, but in general I would think
Hi there. Having been running the 2.4.0-test kernels on my laptop, I
quickly upgraded to 2.4.0 when it came out. A problem quickly arose:
X won't start.
Under 2.4.0-test12 it works fine.
Under 2.4.0 it exits after trying to load the int10 module...
from 2.4.0-test12 (and all others):
