In my case, Am79C971.
in part it is due to the major/minor split which only gives 4 bits for the
partition number.
if you use devfs or LVM this limit is removed.

The following patch should correct the request_irq mistake. (The zero return

Does the "buff" value grow high (+700MB), with high CPU usage?
If so, I think this might be down to nr_free_buffer_pages().

Hi,
on 2.2.17 & 2.2.18 we have this kernel panic:
it begins with:
no vm86_info: BAD

-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)

Reiserfs inclusion in 2.4.1 was basically the plan for
I previously reported a problem trying to disable hardware flow-control
of serial ports in the Linux kernel 2.4.0. This problem did not
exist in Linux version 2.2.18.
This problem occurs when the initial console has been redirected out
to a serial port as is the case with one of our embedded

Using the 2.4.0 kernel and a kernel compiled with support for 4GB of
memory, mounting of the initial ramdisk fails when 1GB or more
of memory is installe dint he system.
There is no OOPS, it simply says, unable to mount root vfs, I ma

Wrong, it's obviously protected by the inode_lock. And
Hello,
When I discovered the nice "smp affinity" feature, I gave it a try on our
old SMP testbed (quad P100 with 2 Adaptec AIC-7870 SCSI adapters). And by
chance, I discovered that the following command causes an oops (after a
couple of seconds), even without any kind of smp affinity :
Hi,
When we install a IDE hard disk drive, and configure as Master and connect
on Primary IDE Interface, this disk WILL BE ALWAYS hda. We can install
other hard disks (e.g. hdb, hdc...) but the disk that it is connected as
hda, will not change.
If we install a SCSI hard disk drive, with ID3,

Hi Linus
I was very surprised when I checked my local kernel.org mirror this
morning, and noticed that the latest 2.4.1 pre-patch had grown to
~180 kb in size. I was even more surprised when I realized that the
inclusion of reiserfs was the reason for this. While I am certainly
happy for the
Hi all,
I've a system comprosed of two PIII machines, equipped with Znyx 346Q 4port
ethernet cards (tulip driver) which I'd like to connect together in a bonded

machines - currently we are using 2.4.0-test9.
The setup is
This patch for the RoadRunner HIPPI driver includes:
* Fix crash on null dereference in rr_interrupt due to firmware bug
* Fix crash on null dereference in rr_interrupt with better link ON/OFF
handling
* Fix crash due to NIC continuing to DMA after HALT (requires firmware
>= 2.0.67)

Because of the limitations of having 8-bit major/minor device numbers.
