Hi.
The following (trivial) patch against 2.4.0 (but should apply cleanly
against 241p1) makes do_munmap only null our precious cache if the

will make any measurable difference but it seems straightforward
enough to be done

Hi.

I have changed the interface to mark_buffer_dirty (as per Tigran

Hi.
I have changed the interface to mark_buffer_dirty (as per Tigran
Aivazian's suggestion). This impacts a lot of places in the kernel

I just got hold of an old machine (P75, 32MB RAM). On trying to install
RH 6.2 on it, I got an oops after loading the kernel from the boot floppy.
I then tried to boot a 2.4.0-test8-pre6 (made with make bzdisk), but got
an oops. The same with 2.2.17.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
Interesting turn in my efforts to make linux boot on my newly acquired
old computer: Mike Galbraith offered me IKD for 2.4.0t8, which I
accepted and tried (I said yes to all the IKD config options). This
made 2.4.0t8 boot and get as far as complaining about bad root fs

Hi.
This is against 2.4.0-test8. It removes an unnecessary check (done
earlier) for a slab destructor (unless I am missing some black magic)
and substitutes __set_current_state for current-state=XXX.

AFAIK most distros use CONFIG_PCI_GOANY, which causes the kernel to try to

I recently had a problem with linux 2.2.x and 2.4.0 oopsing early
in the boot process on a old pentium I had gotten hold of. printk
investigation showed the problem to be in the PCI detection code,
specifically the part where linux tries to go through the BIOS to
get the PCI settings.

Some years ago, the PCI routines have really used this strategy
(and the obsolete help text reflects this situation), but unfortunately,
there exist machines where the direct access detection gives bogus

(I hope that you are the current maintainer for the Sun3 framebuffer.

It is my understanding that __initfunc is deprecate in 2.4.0. So this
patch exchanges __initfunc with __init.
