Hi all,
I've a system comprosed of two PIII machines, equipped with Znyx 346Q 4port
ethernet cards (tulip driver) which I'd like to connect together in a bonded
configuration. For various reasons, we require 2.4.0 kernels on our
machines - currently we are using 2.4.0-test9.
The setup is
Hi Linus
I was very surprised when I checked my local kernel.org mirror this
morning, and noticed that the latest 2.4.1 pre-patch had grown to
~180 kb in size. I was even more surprised when I realized that the
inclusion of reiserfs was the reason for this. While I am certainly
happy for the

Hi,
When we install a IDE hard disk drive, and configure as Master and connect
on Primary IDE Interface, this disk WILL BE ALWAYS hda. We can install
other hard disks (e.g. hdb, hdc...) but the disk that it is connected as
hda, will not change.
If we install a SCSI hard disk drive, with ID3,
Hello,
When I discovered the nice "smp affinity" feature, I gave it a try on our
old SMP testbed (quad P100 with 2 Adaptec AIC-7870 SCSI adapters). And by
chance, I discovered that the following command causes an oops (after a
couple of seconds), even without any kind of smp affinity :

You have 512 kmaps, but one SMBFS cache page can contain about 504

I previously reported a problem trying to disable hardware flow-control
of serial ports in the Linux kernel 2.4.0. This problem did not
exist in Linux version 2.2.18.
This problem occurs when the initial console has been redirected out
to a serial port as is the case with one of our embedded

Is there a safe way to add debug information like simple string prints in
arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.s and in arch/i386/kernel/head.S
so that I can see at the console where the boot process hangs?
