I'm developing a driver that performs some 'formatting' of sorts on a scsi
block device as part of the initialization process. This involves
writting a long series of non-contiguous blocks to a disk device -
something akin to:
for(i =0; i NUM_BLOCKS; i++) {
bh = getblk(i *

You might ask yourself the same question...
For example, if there were six different companies that marketed ethernet
drivers for the eepro100, you'd have a choice of which one to buy..perhaps
with different "features" that were of value to you. Instead,

Vgacon has pretty much not changed. As for going from graphics mode and
back it is quite complex and the X server handles all of it.

I have a SOYO "SY-5EMA+ Super 7" motherboard, with a K6-2 processor.
The 45 Gig IBM drive hangs the BIOS if I let it autodetect it, so I
turn off autodetection for IDE2 primary where it sits. This is probably
not relevant.
My problem is that "hdparm -tT dev/hdc" gives atrocious

The help talks about BIOS which I know is only on x86.
Does this code include anything that helps a non x86 comp?

Hi,
I was glad to see Linux gain SO_SNDTIMEO in kernel 2.4. It is a very use
feature which can avoid complexity and pain in userspace programs.
Unfortunately, it seems to be very buggy. Here are two buggy scenarios.

Create a socketpair(), PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM.

Dennis, the only linux network drivers that I have had serious problems
with were yours. They caused kernel panic on 2.0.30+ every 6 hours. Of

works rock solid on all of my machines that use it.
