Hi. While doing some file tranfers to our new server (a Compaq Proliant 8way XEON 500 with 4gb ram and an EEPro100 NIC), the box socked solid (no oops, no response via network, no response via console). The other hardware in the system was a Compaq Smart Array 9SMART2 driver). It's runn

Annoying kernel behaviour

2001-06-22 Thread Dylan Griffiths
I upgraded a fileserver to 2.4.5 because of the RAID support (the 0.90 patch I grabbed did not apply cleanly to 2.2.19, despite it being a fresh copy). Besides a nice speed increase (the EEPro now pumps 10 megs a second, instead of 2 or 3), there is a problem with the video4linux in it.

Another thing I was happy to find working better in 2.4.5, was USB. I had just dumped off ~70 high res pics (which would've taken forever via the usual RS232 method), and was deleting the last pics when gphoto froze. The dmesg log has the same messages it had before when I experimented with 2.4.

Kernel 2.4.5 has a working emu10k1 driver (all apps which hung with 2.2.19's driver worked fine, none of the working ones stopped working). Could we perhaps see this backported to the 2.2.20 prepatches so that us 2.2 lovers can enjoy working sound? -- www.kuro5hin.org -- technology an
