[expert] LM8: as86 missing when compiling 2.2.19
Hello, I tried to compile kernel 2.2.19 on LM8. kgcc was used instead of gcc. I suppose this is ok. However, as86 is being used. On a hunch, I "ln -s /usr/bin/as /usr/bin/as86". However that does not work as some options are not recognized. Can anyone help? thanks Steven Marcus __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[expert] LM8: ext2 fs corruption bug
Hello, I never received an answer to http://www.mail-archive.com/expert@linux-mandrake.com/msg36254.html I know there is an ext2 fs corruption bug in kernels prior to 2.4.4pre2. It is described as affecting filesystems under "heavy load." I am concerned about this. I just read on mandrake-forum that there will be no official 2.4.4 kernel update. Judging from the discussion on 2.4.4 elsewhere it appears to be another release in the 2.4-series kernel with problems. I am starting to believe that the 2.4 kernel in general has not yet stabilized. I downloaded and installed 2.4.4 myself and it appears to have broken some apm-related code. My thinkpad freezes frequently when coming OUT of suspend mode. Also, I notice that dvd playback appears smoother under 2.2.19 than 2.4.3/4. Can anyone clarify, or offer suggestions? thank you! Steven Marcus __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[expert] LM8 ext2 fs corruption? & mdk patches
There is an ext2 fs corruption bug in 2.4.3. The bug is officially fixed as of 2.4.4pre2. I'd like to know if it is present in 2.4.3-20mdk. Is there any place that one can find a listing of the "mdk" patches applied to any linus kernel? tia, srnm __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
