2.4.5 VFS/ramdisk changes
Hi I'm having trouble with 2.4.5, where 2.4.4 worked fine. The problem is the following: I pass an initrd image to the kernel, which is a compressed image of an ext2 filesystem. The ramdisk size is set at 12 MB (12288 KB). The kernel is passed "root=/dev/rd/0" (using devfs, mounted automatically at boot-time by the kernel), but for some reason it can't find init (results in a kernel panic), this works perfectly with a 2.4.4 kernel. Oh, and btw, this works fine in 2.4.5 if I pass "root=/dev/fd/0 prompt_ramdisk=1" with the initrd image placed on a secondary floppydisk. What went wrong in 2.4.5?

Re: 2.4.2-pre3 and 2.4.1-ac9 sound corruption
> Are you using XFree86 4.0 on a matrox card ? No, it's an nVIDIA Riva TNT2 Ultra 32 MB AGP (card manufacturer: Creative). But these problems are not related to X, as they are the same whether I use mpg123 in a plain console or xmms in X. But, I've also tried something else, I compiled a kernel with absolutely NO sound support, then downloaded OSS from www.opensound.com and installed it. The exact _same_ problems occured. So now I'm suspecting the IRQ-sharing with the two USB UHCI-controllers to be the problem (worked fine with 2.4.1 "vanilla" though, where the same devices were sharing the same interrupts..). Have there been any changes on that part? (USB UHCI driver IRQ-sharing etc.) (Please CC a copy to me as I'm not subscribed to the linux kernel mailing-list right now) Regards Ole André Vadla Ravnås
2.4.2-pre3 and 2.4.1-ac9 sound corruption
I've been using vanilla 2.4.1 with no problems, with my soundcard (SB PCI 128 / es1370) sharing IRQ with the USB-controller (this is an Abit KT7-RAID motherboard). This is what /proc/interrupts tells me: CPU0 0: 130808 XT-PIC timer 1:564 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 12256 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, es1370 10:503 XT-PIC eth0 11: 2916 XT-PIC ide2, ide3 14: 16 XT-PIC ide0 15: 11 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 After upgrading to 2.4.2-pre3 I get sound corruption (I believe this problem has existed since pre2, since I suspect the " - driver sync up with Alan" part of the changes in pre2 to be the source of the problem. I've also tried 2.4.1-ac9, which gives me the exact same problems (sound corruption, really "weird" sound). Hope this is enough info to at least track down some problem if it hasn't been done already. I'm not subscribed to the linux kernel mailing-list, so please CC to me any follow-ups and I'll do my best to track down the problem if more info about my system/configuration is needed.
