Well I am happy it is a hoax, because Alan pressed into my forhead that

At SHARE last week I distributed a survey form to ascertain the profile

that SHARE should offer in the future. I promised to deliver a summary of

Hello linux-kernel,
Is there any way to conduct TCP sessions (IE have a userland process
connect out, or accept connections) using non-local IPs? By "non-local"
I just mean IPs that aren't assigned to an interface, but do fall into
the network range of a running interface (so netmask, gateway,

Hi,
This is a follow up report on a server I run which is now using 2.4.2-ac5.
It was suggested that the problem might be a NIC driver issue, but that
seems unlikely at this point.

of what I am encountering:

No this error is not by the wrong DMA settings. If you have a drive in dma
mode 5 and the controller does not support it, the kernel will give you a
proper error saying that this dma mode is not supported by the
controller. This is most likly something with the kernel. I'd try

Minor historical note. The `#!' processing was never done by the
shell, this was always done in the kernel. Think about about it,
the `#' character denotes a comment line, the shell ignores that
line. `#!' was used to create a way for the kernel to execute
a shell script directly.

Write caching is the culprit for the performance diff:
On IDE:
time xlog /blah.dat fsync
0.000u 0.190s 0:01.72 11.0% 0+0k 0+0io 91pf+0w
# hdparm -W 0 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting drive write-caching to 0 (off)
# time xlog /blah.dat fsync
0.000u 0.220s 0:50.60 0.4% 0+0k 0+0io 91pf+0w

Yes.

Does ac11 also reboot like that. -ac is currently testing versions of the new
VIA IDE driver so knowing if the latest update did that would be very
useful

So can the vt82c686 be replaced with one of these other chips? What
action is available to owners of MBs with chips that don't work w/Linux?
