EXT2, loaded as module.
There are other problems (may be caused by R.Gooch's latest patch,
devfs-177) - no module autoloading complaining about "/dev//floppy/0" etc.
(there are 2 slashes after /dev, it's not a mistake). Recompiling ac5
without that patch, may be it'll help.

mm: critical shortage of bounce buffers
Can anybody explain what does "mm: critical shortage of bounce buffers" mean? I have a 2xP-III/850 system with 2Gbyte of RAM. I'm trying to run ImageMagick on this system with quite big files (convert consumes 1+ Gbyte of RAM). The system crushes immediately with that message in log file and a whole screen of constantly scrolling allocation failure messages. Should I change some kernel define to be able to use those 2 Gbytes? It does crush even when given "mem=960M" boot option. Both 4 and 64 Gbytes RAM configurations do crush. Work like a charm with high memory disabled. --- Sergey Kubushin Sr. Unix Administrator CyberBills, Inc.Phone: 702-567-8857 874 American Pacific Dr,Fax:702-567-8808 Henderson, NV 89014 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

This can cause problems with any high-activity device on the bus, such as a network device. The older chips (e.g. 82557) work fine. The problem arises when you have the newer 82559's. They do work, however, if the power management for eepro100 is enabled in kernel config. It definitely means that those chips are underinitialized (or overinitialized :)) when it's not. --- Sergey Kubushin Sr. Unix Administrator CyberBills, Inc.Phone: 702-567-8857 874 American Pacific Dr,Fax:702-567-8890 Henderson, NV, 89014 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
