I have a nic here which acts somehow strange. When I load the

pull the connector from the hub and load the module and then plug
it back in, it works fine. I somehow suspect that the nic selects
the wrong media. How can I force it to
Title: Kernel oops in mm/slab.c [ kmem_cache_grow() ] with test4-8
Hi,
I've been having kernel oopses with the 2.4.0-test series and am including ksymoops processed output from both test4 and test5 kernels. The same oops happens in later kernels too (Tested with test6, test7 and test8).

I have a Toshiba 1101 DVD-RAM drive attached to a Symbios 53C810a SCSI
card. I have a cartridge formatted by Windows to FAT-16 with 64K clusters.
It has never worked in 2.4-test (I got the drive on test-6) however
it works perfectly using the 2.2

Sure the implementation would differ in function of the way we order the
requests during inserction, but the conceptual algorithm of the latency control

Why only #ifdef DEBUG_SLAB?
AFAICS the driver should always destroy it's slab cache.
