Heh. Let's just change the "version_read_proc" string to not trigger.
Something like this instead (which replaces the "Linux" with "%s" in
My guess is that since it's not in there, I might be the only one who
noticed. Unfortunatly that looks to be bad news for me... I have 5

Thats why get_kernel_version calls gzip.

No, you cant.

Updated direct resource pass with ioremap call, make it grant proper IRQ

main.o gets linked after misc.o, so this will not work.

Hi, [please CC me, as I am not subscribed]
currently keycodes above 240 are ignored if the tty is in raw mode. To make the key codes from 241 to 255 usable for programs in raw mode (like X11) the still unused scancodes were
added into that range. Right know these scancodes are used in arbitrary

Just go for it.
Just dropping a note that I booted into single user mode today and tried
mounting the VCD -- and it worked! So I guess, yeah, the problem must be
something to do with HAL etc. Some change to the kernel probably breaks
something in HAL (just a guess) .. whatever, am stuck now coz I can't

Ahh. Fallback_alloc() does not do the check for GFP_WAIT as done in
cache_grow(). Thus interrupts are disabled when we call kmem_getpages()
which results in the failure.
Duplicate the handling of GFP_WAIT in cache_grow().
