Hm, must admit that I wasn't 100% sure if that's in the kernel lib or an evil
gcc expands it inline to some static array lookup. Now I see that it's
already in the kernel. Do some of you also

This isn't fixed, I'm pretty sure. I haven't looked at it yet.

A bug i had with kernel version 2.4.0-test9 is still there, but there are
additional information:
When parport_pc is compiled as module, and not already loaded
"modprobe imm" yields the LOCKUP message (subject).
The iomega-drive is usable after the modprobe and despite of
the lockup.

Hello,
I want to set my development machine so I have multiple
kernels that I can boot. I don't need different versions
of kernel, but only 2.2.14 compiled with different
options (e.g. with/without kdb).
So I have two kernel images, default and debug. I also
compiled modules for both of these
Hi.
When running 'tar cvIf /' or 'tar cvzf /' (but sometimes not
with 'plain' tar, i.e., without compression) I get an oops after some
time. This is reproducible. The oops below is from a 'tar cvIf' run.
I get this also with 2.2.17pre10 (which was what I was running before
encountering this)

When you have a NFS problem, the best thing you can do is to check if
your nfs-utils is up to date before you report it. BTW, the current
one is 0.2.1.

I stumbled across a BUG in the 2.4.0.t10 kernel. It occurs after
some time and after some days of number crunching and disk usage. It is
triggered most frequently by tripwire runs after upgrades, which actually
stress both the disk and the CPU (calculating signatures).
Here is the output

Hi.
I'm working on an ARM Linux box, using kernel 2.4.0-test9 and
util-linux-2.10p
I'm trying to mount an image of a ramdisk in order to modify it. I
entered
the following command :
mount -o loop -t ext2 ramdisk_ks /mnt/ramdisk
But this command fails. I get no output messages, loose control
