Hello,
I have received a patch from Brian Flachs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
which may fix this problem with older ZR36057 chips. The patch is
available here. It must be applied against version 0.6 of the driver.
If you have the problem with older DC10 cards, please, try this patch
and send me a note

Hi Linus & Alexander
It seems that we were all wrong in assuming that ext2 was fixed
wrt. filesystem corruption. test10pre3 once again has the potential
to eat files (not sure about earlier versions).
I finally managed to capture an oops (by hand), so bear with me that
I didn't typo anywhere.
Also sprach Mark Montague:
}
} dn[i], i++ evaluates to i, but str[i] = dn[i], i++ sets str[i] to
} dn[i] first, then increments i returning its previous value, which is
} discarded. Which was probably specified this way so
}
} for(i=1,j=2; something; something else)
}
} works as expected,
I complained few days ago that 'agpgart.o' module from 2.2.18pre
is causing a kernel oops. The problem turned out to be an apparent
assumption that PCI memory <-> memory mapping is an identity and
this is not always the case.
Here is a patch applicable to all 2.2.18pre kernels with agpgart

When I tried 2.4.0-test10-pre3 on my IBM Thinkpad 380XD (the 233 MHz

removing cards gave me no beeps and no log messages. Slot #0 (the upper
one) behaved fine. It didn't matter whether I had one or two cards in.

What about creating three kernel series:
2.2. stable
2.4. feature frozen
2.5 development?
As soon as 2.4 comes out, 2.7 is created, 2.6test
will be feature frozen.
Development time would be shorter, and
the nuisance with "this important feature has tz slip

Were Linux to go totally modular in 2.5, development cycles will be
reduced by 1/2 to 1/3. This is because you could always roll back to
known good modules to post a release. The way you guys are going, if
