Yes, I saw that from your other traces too. I know there are plans
to improve clear_page_range during 2.6.12, but I didn't realize that
it had

The reported IRQ is bogus until you make that

2.6.11-rc4 built with gcc-3.4.3 works fine on my eMac.
Building with gcc-4.0.0 (20050220) however gives me a kernel
with dead USB, and thus no keyboard or mouse, but everything
else seems to be working.
A diff between dmesg on the two kernels has an interesting nugget:

Sebastian,
Try upgrading to 2.6.11-rc2-mm4 or newer, I've had better luck with my
USB/Firewire external case on there. Just make sure you don't turn on
usb-storage logging, it's way too verbose for general use!

No, the problem with preempt_disable/enable is that they go away if

Hi there,
looks like xfsdumpis broken with recent 2.6.11-rc Kernels. 2.6.11-rc4 is the
one I tried.
Strange enough ist does seem to work _sometimes_, but it does not work
most of the time.
If it does not work I just get the following message:

that means we can have two processes allocated dentry for

Hi!
I still get the following messages and my mouse jumps around weirdly
making work rather difficult regardless of which 2.6 kernel I use (tried
2.6.8, 2.6.9, 2.6.10, 2.6.11-rc2 with patch-see below, 2.6.11-rc4):

This kernel came up, but my boot script complained about no /dev/hdb3

(I have two IDE disks on the same cable, and an IDE cdrom on another.)
They are usually hda, hdb, and hdc.
MAKEDEV hdq did not help. Looking at sysfs, it turns out that

I wrote a kernel tool for my personnal usage which goal is to keep a

Today lilo (the FreeNode network owner) has decided to make one step away in a
direction opposite of freedom, and banned all Tor users from the FreeNode
network.
Tor ( http://tor.eff.org ) is an open source anonymous gateway system. Many

I guess that depends on how you define 2.6.11 material at this point, but
I have a few patches that I wrote in there, that I think are potential
candidates due to them being fairly
