Well, I have an Acer AK73 Pro(A), with an Athlon 1.333 GHz (133 FSB). I have never had anuy lockup or data corruption problems. I do run this system as a dual-boot, usually under Win2K :( The system is as follows: Acer AK73 Pro(A) Athlon (C) 1.333 GHz IBM DTLA307060 60G IDE hard drive

um. duh. Thanks. I guess it helps to know the right FM to R. :) Arthur had pointed out that modules.h should be included, then kernel.h. Is there a place where I can find out more about header file order dependencies? (damn - that sounds like a Microsoft help question) Keith Owens wrote: >

Thanks. Actually, the symbols in question aren't in modules. The kernel is module enabled, but all drivers are being compiled in (this is for an embedded system). My external module (which needs to grab the timer interrupt) is in a separate source tree. Thanks for the printk info - I guess

Hello, all. I am writing a pseudo-realtime control system, based on kernel 2.2.14. The only RT-like task needs to hang off the timer IRQ. I am using techniques like those in the book "Linux Kernel Internals", by Beck, et al.. The patches in that book won't apply (they are for 2.1.24 or lower),
