Hi!
Kernel 2.4.0-test13-pre4 (without any patches) does not see some of the PCI
devices with my setup here. The machine is a IBM Netfinity 7100 Quad-Xeon with
a Serverworks Chipset.
The RAID-Controller (a IBM ServeRAID-4L) is not detected. Kernel 2.2.17
detects it. I also checked -test10 and

Hi Christoph,

Hi,
We have a typical semaphore application that has a producer and a
consumer.
Without the semaphores we are limited by the rest of the stuff to
1 times around the loop per second. That's good.
When we put the "push the semaphore" call in there, the rate drops to
around 8000 per second.

Sorry for the RTFArchive question, I've just found the previous thread on
Alan,
I have just sent you the prepare/withdraw/publish_etherdev patch for the ethernet
devices. There's a copy (80kbytes) at
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/init_etherdev.patch
It was fairly clean and I don't expect much breakage at all from this.
I could only test the module
