Unless you want to provide a URL: to the modified sources ?
OR Just goto ftp.gnu.org grab the original & stick to just "it's"

Hello Harry,  I noticed that on the higher IDE controller(s) are
alternating 'PIO' drives .  A suggestion , try placing these 
drives on just one controller OR not using them entirely .
then try rebuilding using just the DMA capable ones .
Just a possibility , Actually a long shot .  Hth,  JimL

Please lets not , Just -make sure- that the documentation
say that this reflects the 'rounding factor in the case of
linear arrays .  Adding this keyword maybe appears as 
the best way but then we'll have people adding 'rounding xx'
to type 5 arrays & wondering why that doesn't work .

I vote for maintaining the Doc's ,  that say if this is a linear
type array then the chunksize really refers to the rounding
factor for this array .  And make chunksize mandatory through out
all arrays .  My .02 ? .   Tia,  JimL

Then Alan's patches differ in what & where they patched things
for the ac12 .  I have several successfully patched area's .
Hmmm, This appears to not be good .  But, I'll give ac12 a try
directly & report back .

Would you or anyone else like to comment on where these
differances between the patches are significant ?
Most of the successful entries are in the same files

Hello Mingo,  I have applied the 2.2.0 patch to 2.2.1 & have one
.rej (mm/mmap.c.rej) not sure what to do with this one . 
The necessary change here is not obvious to me .
The below '-' line in 2.2.1 now reads .

unsigned long last = (end + PGDIR_SIZE -1) & PGDIR_MASK;

I beleive that it (may) does the right thing (tm) , I'll
try to compile it as it is in 2.2.1 and see how it reacts .

unsigned long first = start & PGDIR_MASK;

If you plan on leaving floppy disk in these units , I highly
recommend getting a floppy drive locking mechanism . I am not
sure if one exists to lock a floppy disk into the drive , But
I'll bet someone has made one someplace .

Or mount the floppy drive internal to the case and secure the case .
If you don't secure the media & drive in someway   people -will-
start playing with the boot drive .

Always remember the addage,
'Joe Average User' can destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet.

Hello Mingo,  Hmmm, I had to edit 'drivers/block/genhd.c' after

I also had to edit 'mkpv.c' in the '1214' raid-tools src's to 
get them to compile on my system, 
I replaced the 

#include 
With
#include 

I'm attaching patches agains't these files only .
