I seem to have lots of problems w/ the 2.4 series and PPP..
Everything compiles fine, and boots fine, but try and run pppd, and "This
kernel as no support of PPP.."
PPP is shown in dmesg:
PPP generic driver version 2.4.1
PPP Deflate Compression module registered

I got the following oops with 2.4.5-ac12 after I issued "rmmod -a"
twice. I only notices the oops after I issued "rmmod -a" once which
might explan that ksymoops cannot name the module which caused the oops.
This is possibly ALSA-related (although I never had problems with

I now oberserved the same oops, with the same stack trace,

one disk and with little disk usage (most file activity via
NFS, where this system is a client).

Hi!
* Can the kernel part of CODA can be used for this?
Not if you want to intercept and redirect every single read and write
call. That's a whole other can of worms, and I'd advise you to let the
userspace cachemanager to act as an NFS daemon. In my opinion, the Coda

Hi!
Can't it make mouse jump forward and back when user suddenly stops?
In theory - yes. It doesn't seem to be a problem in practice, though.
It'll happen when a user slows down the mouse pointer motion faster than
exponentially (base 2). I haven't been able to stop that fast.

I have reported before a kernel oops.
I now oberserved the same oops, with the same stack trace,

one disk and with little disk usage (most file activity via
NFS, where this system is a client).
The kernel is identical to the one reported

The fix is to kill the dead/orphaned swap pages before we get to
swapoff. At shutdown time there is practically nothing active in

Once the dead swap pages problem is fixed it is time to optimize
swapoff.
I think fixing the orphaned swap pages problem will eliminate the

Sorry if this does not fit in the kernel list.

Why? Because if it does attempt to transmit a packet, it will get a

Indeed. However, I don't believe user space should _rely_ on the flag.
The reason is that there are network cards out there where the only way
to get the link status _is_ to transmit a packet, even on 10baseT.
