With latest updates, i just deleted the kernel aic7xxx subtree, put instead
the updated (from people.freebsd.org) tree, and built. All went fine

This is one other try to make kernel sources gcc-3.0 friendly. This cleans

Well, my mail took a hundred years to get to the list, and in the meanwhile
I read the posts on the bugs in vmalloc.c. That solved my boot, now I'm
running ac25.

It just hangs when init scripts try to activate swap. I will look at
what is init trying to mount and decode the info that Sysrq-P gives,
but if this suggests somebody anything already known...
Sysrq-p gives different info as time goes, so perhaps it is n

Well, at last some sense. The same is with that ugly out: at the end
of the function. Just change all that 'goto out' for a retu

Yes, a null sentence can shut up the compiler. But what is the purpose of
a jump to the end instead of a return ? Some optimization ?

Hi, kernel list readers.
I have been building (and hopefully booting) ac-21 with gcc-3.0 snapshot
dated 20010312. I have cleared the 99% of the warnings that 3.0 issues
when building the kernel. Obviuosly, only in the main kernel part for
i386 and the drivers I use. I suppose other arch will requ

Hi,
Recently I read the BeOS www page, and answerd a question in other mailing
list. Both things have remind me of a pretty file system: 'cdfs'.
Anybody knows if there is a port of 'cdfs' (Audio CD File System) for Linux ?
Which fs now in kernel would be good as a template to start ?

Silly idea: could you put the full path of the bz2 patch instead of only
the dir ?
So people will only have to cut'n'paste for wget...

Hi,
Just a note to make gcc 2.96 (and future) happy. The aic7xxx driver is full of
inline funcs that should return a value and do not do that:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.2-ac14/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boun
