I think there's problem in both the kernel and in X. Why?

Hello Mark!
I wrote Alan about it a while ago, and I got no response..
Do you maybe have an idea who made this change in the code ?
As far as I see, Alan is responsible for the video4linux thing, so maybe
it's him. I'll re-write him soon if I'll get no response..

Whoa now?! 16 shm segments?if that's true something is terribly

19.5 day uptime on test8 and 4.01b, ~13 segments, ~350K all user 'david'.

Are there any known problems with using a reiserfs patched 2.2.16
or 2.2.17 with the NFS patches? If not, does the patch order
matter?
Also, what is the URL to get the NFS patches for the above
kernels?

Hi,
I ran into a problem with my own kernel source files in the Linux VR project
where 'make dep' was missing CONFIG_* dependencies for some files with C++
style comments. It turns out that mkdep doesn't check for // at all, so it
will misinterpret apostrophes in those comments as single quotes
Attached is the most recent version of arp.c patch, it incorporates the

GFP_KERNEL allocations can sleep so cannot be used in the interrupt

GREAT except that deadlock problem which after 7 days of uptime in X
finally occurred. So, I thought, updating to the latest normal kernel
should have that and it fixed. Obviously I was wrong. The kernel is

hi!
this is related to previous problem,
when i tried to allocate 64k of physical memory by calling
kmalloc(64*1024-1, GFP_KERNEL), it allocated the memory, also wrote the
memory, but when i read it, it gave Ayeei message, saying interrupt

I'm in the process of migrating my foreign modules to 2.4,
and it now appears that proc_register() and proc_unregister()
are no longer exported from the kernel. Bug or feature?
I know that Linus reserves the right to change interfaces,

Oh, now I see why I found so many references to
remap_page_range() in sound cards code. But there is still
something that seems odd to me:

In test9-pre6, when going to compile something - just hit make, gcc kicked
in - and grepping, my system came to a semi-deadlock both times. By this I
mean that you can switch between vconsoles pretty snappily (this system has
no X), but you cannot type at all on those consoles (I think 5 minutes
i tried to allocate physical memory of 128k by calling kmalloc function,
passing parameter of (128k-1)bytes, but the computer hanged. when i made it
to 32k , the computer rebooted,
i am using 2.2.14-5.0 kernel.
same was the case with get_free_pages() service..

This is probably nothing important, but I thought I'd post it anyway in

The description of the NICs in question as found in
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf

In one machine it's the first which is getting lots of overruns; in the
