If I load opl3, /dev/sound/sequencer becomes useful - cat doesn't exit and
dmesg shows:
/dev/music: Obsolete (4 byte) API was used by cat
You need opl3. The ymfpci driver is the dsp and enabler for the opl3 gunge
Then I don't understand this

For now we have switched back to 2.2.18 which stays up for about
a week before it crashes because of the VM too.

It sounds more promising than it is :-(
Non old style OSS synthesizers dont support the legacy /dev/sequencer interface

Hello!
You are right - our sendfile() implementation is broken. I have fixed it
Thank you!
Investigation shows that the Linux network layer is behaving oddly. It
seems that we are writing 4096 bytes to a socket. This proceeds in 4096
byte chunks until the send buffer on the socket is

I think someone was done before to optimizer AMD K6-2+ CPU in gcc patch.

Hello!
We are implementing an IP stack.
Alan, please, tell me what is wrong. And we will repair this.
The implementation follows RFCs and even relaxes their requirements
in the cases, when they are far from reality.

Should this onboard audio work with the i810 driver, in 2.2.x
and 2.4.x ?
The card is detected as ICH2, although the driver supports only ICH.

The integrated LAN on Intel boards with i815 chipset
apparently is not fully supported. In latest 2.2.x and 2.4.x,
with the EtherExpress Pro100 driver, after some network traffic,
it locks. The only way I can use the net again is either reboot,
or ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up.
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, vendor id1: 0x4144, id2: 0x5360 (Analog

i810_audio: Codec refused to allow VRA, using 48Khz only.
i810_audio: Found 1 audio device(s).
As seen above, playback is supported only for 48khz samples.
If the codec only supports 48Khz samples then
I suspect part of the problem with commercial driver support on Linux is that
the Linux driver API (such as it is) is relatively poorly documented
In-kernel documentation, agreed.
_Linux Device Drivers_ is a good reference for 2.2 and below.
