It's no news that vendors only implement what they want to. New
cd-r/w and dvd drives are not required to implement this command,
so it may not work there either.
Take a look at the code for cdparanoia or one of the other MP3 ripping
programms.

Hello,
In the event of a power outtage, my servers all shutdown -h when the
backup UPS gets low, and I have them configured to start back up with a
router (that uses an AT mobo, so it will start automatically) to send
wakeonlan packets to my other servers to start them back up. Wakeonlan

What does a message like 'ext2: block big' indicate?
This was kernel 2.2.18aa2.
The machine was completely unresponsive when I got there. There were a
bunch of blockbig messages on the screen, but no oops.
In my grogginess, I didn't have the sense to copy down the whole message,
but it did
I installed a fresh Slackware 7.1 with kernel 2.2.16 to do some testing
with the 2.4 kernel series, all this under VMWare. Everything was fine,
until I installed the new kernel (yes, I installed the stuff required in
the CHANGES file). I cannot get 2.4.2pre3 or 2.4.1-ac10 to recognize

If my ASUS A7V133-based computer got started by the bios automatic
startup timer, /dev/rtc doesn't work properly. /proc/drivers/rtc
shows sane values, but IRQ 8 is not triggered causing programms like
'hwclock' to hang.
I assume this is not a kernel bug but a BIOS problem, but it would be
nice
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Is it possible to get user input from within the kernel?
I am trying to develop simple text-based user interface for a user to
perform some security critical actions, i.e. logging in. Basically, I am
