Dear Kernel People,
A friend of mine has a new PC with an ASUS CUV4X-D motherboard
and dual 1GHZ PIII's. We have installed RedHat 7.1. The original
RedHat SMP kernel (2.4.2) did not boot; it froze with some complaints
about APIC. The backup single processor kernel 2.4.2 booted o.k.,

I just noticed that 2.4.6-ac1 parport won't compile (well, link) without
the kernel PnP stuff configured. So I tried turning it on.
It prints a line saying that it found my modem at boot time, but doesn't
actually configure it, so I have to run isapnp anyway if I want to use it.
Okay, RTFM
Why do we need a dummy req for plugging.
As i understood only thing plugging does is to, on arrival of new req if
the dev queue is empty, puts a dummy req on the queue, and schedules the
unplug routine on tq_disk, which on being scheduled calls the strategy
routine.
So we can as well put the new

I think I've seen this same problem, at least with regards to USB
printing. Yesterday, I traced the problem down to a patch to usb-uhci.c
in the transition from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4. The problem persists today. A
work around for this problem is to use the alternate UHCI driver
(uhci.o).

The patch below fixes the interrupt assignments on PPC machines that
use Open Firmware, in the case where we have devices behind a PCI-PCI
bridge and multiple PCI host bridges. The patch is moderately large
because I rewrote the procedure that parsed the open firmware
interrupt tree.

This patch does the following:
- creates a cacheline aligned/padded struct cpu_stat[NR_CPUS].
- moves the [NR_CPUS] members of kernel_stat into cpu_stat
This moves the stat data that a cpu will update into a contiguous region.
Previous users of kernel_stat would compete for an array's

Greetings:
When i used Redhat 7 and kernel 2.2.x y was happy with my souncard, now I
use RedHat 7.1 and Kernel 2.4.x, but sndconfig doesn't configure my

That looks like tool problems. <> is valid SGML short format, are you
using XML docbook ?
I'll apply them anyway - they do no
Hi,
This patch fixes the Jade SGML warnings when compiling the videobook:
jade:videobook.sgml:182:34:E: character data is not allowed here
jade:videobook.sgml:182:47:E: end tag for "ROW" which is not finished
jade:videobook.sgml:182:50:E: document type does not allow element "TBODY" here;
This patch combines the three lru state bits in page->flags into a single
scalar field of two bits. In this case, setting the scalar value never
costs more than setting a single bit does because each change of state goes
through an intermediate step of clearing the state bits to zero, so a

Hello,
Have a system with an Asus P5A motherboard, Classic Pentium-200
underclocked to 180 MHz, and 196 MB of real memory. Up through 2.4.4 it
has performed flawlessly. Kernels 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 will not complete the
boot.
Boot looks normal through the F0 0F check, and the message
