On my home network, I make world on one machine and install it (from an NFS
mounted directory) on another. Some time ago (I've griped about this before -
the problem's been around for a while) it started to occasionally hang just
after or during installing libc.so.3. It will then hang solidly -
I'm messing around with the latest mesa and have discovered (suprise)that our
assembler doesn't support 3dnow instructions. Are there any plans to update to
a version of binutils that does? Linux's stuff appears to support it.

OK, the Linux 3dfx driver attempts to set up a write combining range starting

It (memcontrol, I was typing the name from memory at work) complains. I was
trying to set up the MTRRs like the Linux voodoo device driver does. I hadn't

Would anyone have any objections to me hacking objcopy so that it could do the
following -
a) Change symbol names from one thing to another
b) Add/remove dependencies on other shared objects.
If I submit these changes, what chance do I have of getting them made
"official"?

Some of you may already know this - I'm wondering about the pain involved in
fitting it to our architecture. Journaling. Hmmm.

Soren, I did a bit of experimenting with my CVS archive and found that version
1.8 of ata-all.c was the last one that worked on my problem box. 1.9 spewed
out errors about unexpected interrupts whilst probing and eventually hung, and
1.10 gave the unable to mount wd0s2a errors we all love.
On my machine, a kernel newer than one built on the 22nd will not complete
booting, panicing about not being able to mount root. Another machine with a
very similar config is fine. The main difference is that the faulty machine
has its FreeBSD partition in an odd spot on the disk. Below is the

After the last lot of CAM changes, I occasionally get processes hanging
attempting to access my QIC-525 tape drive. They can't be killed, so doing
backups can be a mite troublesome. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
There seems to be some relation to how recently the last lot of tape act
This version survived for a little longer, but hung (on the 486 box) whilst
doing a recursive ls of a large directory tree. Again, no messages, except
for one which came up as the box was booting, whilst it was starting squid.
The box was OK for about 4 minutes after this message, which was

Well, after unpacking various RPMs from my RedHat 5.23 CD, making a number of
hardlinks within the library directories under /compat/linux, I've finally got
this going. Who do I contact to put together an official Linux development
port that'll work?

When trying to link, it complains about libc.os.6 vs libc.so.5. This makes
life rather difficult when trying to test glide programs against my version of
the /dev/3dfx driver. Can someone commit the RedHat dev system (. egcs
)?
