sometimes one of my servers doesn't boot correctly. Lilo reads the
kernel-image, but doesn't decompress it. So the system won't
continue booting.
Looks like:
Loading linux...
(at this point the machine freezes)
Our experience of this has been with suspect hardware.
I veto, the whole point of moving to ECN was to make a statement and
get people to fix their kit.
Isn't this a problem though because the messge saying that ECN was enabled
was set after ECN was enabled? Thus these people have no idea what is
going on and they probably won't know what to fix
#2 is fixed by rewriting tools in C
didn't Eric say that this has stalled though? Is that not the case?

On my redhat 7.1 machine I have been using the 2.4.0 redhat kernel and
mounting ISO's to loop devices and it worked fine. I upgraded to a 2.4.2
kernel and now none of the ISO's will mount. They all hang when the
command is run. Are there any other known occurences of this?

It isn't so much failing as it hangs. I don't know if you have used it
or not. On a startup of the realserver under a 2.2 kernel here is the

I just had one of the 3com Etherlink 10/100 PCI NIC with 3XP processor
float accross my desk, I was wondering how much the linux kernel uses the
3xp processor for its encryption offloading and such. According to the
hype it does DES without using the CPU, does linux take advantage of that?
I thought 3com was pretty friendly to the Linux Community, was that a
misconception?
It can't because 3com hasn't implemented in the driver and they won't
publish the interface.

Thanks to Kip for clarifying why Linux doesn't use this feature, but now I
wonder why you beleive this?
