I recently compiled 2.4.0-test10-pre3, and was torture-testing
it...I hadnt played any MIDI files in a while, so while one
was playing (on my waveblaster GM daughterboard, thru UART401),

After doing some detective work, I found that the culprit was a

Well, that driver really is broken.
It uses tq_scheduler in strange way, so it has unbound ping times. (Up
to 20 seconds). It breaks under

That depends on what you need. If the question is about the protocols,

On a RedHat 7.0 stock kernel, agpgart finds the AGP aperture the first
time it's loaded, but if it's unloaded and reloaded, it gets confused
and seems to think the aperture is located at 0. At this point,
starting the Xserver (3.x or 4.x) or loading DRM drivers manually
freezes the system. SysRq

Hi
Please have a look at

I put two implementations of twofish on the site
and also a modified loop.c
(which uses requested sector number as IV and
fixes another problem with xfer->lock and unlock.)
The first implementation of twofish basically
uses an IV seed whi

It depends on the driver and hardware, but in general yes. PCI cards
are your best bet, you can pretty much stick as many of those in your
machine as you would like, without having to worry about IRQ/DMA/ioport

Does the kernel support multiple sound cards in one machine?
if so what are the devices they use (i.e. /dev/audio0, /dev/audio1, etc or
what?)
