Hi, everybody. (I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, really.)
I couldn't help but notice the recent discussion/flamewar about the
bitkeeper license changes over on LKML. These changes, as I
understand them, impact anybody who develops or distributes
software deemed to compete with bitkeeper

Heh. The reason it couldn't ping it's own IP address?

One more data point. I tried
Hello,
I have a question about ioremap_nocache() on powerpc.
I want to create a huge RAM buffer for i/o purposes, so I
boot the kernel with parameter "mem=64M" (actually, my
system, an IBM ebony 440, has 128M RAM)
This leave 64M sitting around unused by the linux kernel.
Then, I can do

Well, I missed one thing, at least, so here is
an additional patch, below. There must be more to it
still

Hmm, my minimal rootfs is (so far) 7 Mb, (as reported by du -s).
Or, is this 4Mb you cite compressed? I wond

Ok, this worked for me. Thanks! (I guess I wasn't so

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place
to ask. I'm wondering about how (and if) tags
are being used for the bk://ppc.bkserver.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel
tree.
I would like to be able to clone and
export a "known" state (lets call it "state_1")
of the tree, then later be able to get another

Doh! At least daily, I prove myself to be an idiot.
Of course it works if I put the dash in there.
I'm using linuxppc_2_4. I thought that'd be more
stable than linux
