Hi
I am working on booting linux from diskonchip2000 provided by M-systems.
I am using the kernel version 2.2.14-12 and TFFS4.2
I am following Aug installation manual.
I have successfully made DOC as additional chip and created a personal

Hi!
And, could you send the 'hdparm -i' information along, too? Plus the IDE

Youu have a vt82c596a chipset, one rare enough so I wasn't able to test
with yet. Btw, are you sure it supports ata66? My docs say it should

Thanks. However, I have checked that, during bootup, the IRQ 10 is only used

Would it be related to the driver which tried to treat my hard disk as DMA ones

On some motherboards the IRQs are shared by PCI slots, look out for that.
More importantly, if two or more PCI slots share the same Bus Master

I finally had a chance to try it out under 2.2.17... no hint of a

I have a set of Pentium Pro machines connected by 100 MBit ethernet. I've
been testing the bonnie I/O benchmark over nbd. Using 2.4 kernels up to

Nah... It turned out to be something REALLY obvious. I was
missing the joydev module. Someone else already pointed it ou
lest people start shouting at me...
The philosphy behind this patch is:
There are two ways to turn a "guess" into a "fix":
a) to understand why it works
or
b) to make sure it fixes the problem for everyone on the planet and
doesn't break anything...
This time b) seemed easier :)

Actually, hold off a moment.
Yes, 2.4 has 32bit uid/gid support. No, 2.2 doesn't, but there is a patch
from http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/systems/Linux. You'll probably have
to do some work to fit the patches into the latest 2.2 kernels though, as
they're no longer being maintained in leu of 2.4.

Hi,
This patch against 2.2.18-pre9 moves the USB input drivers into the same
directory structure that they are in for 2.4.x, and it also updates the
drivers to their latest versions.
This patch was done by Franz Sirl (thanks Franz for doing this!)
I've included it in two forms here:
