I get a message

What does that mean? It seems that

Ted, please scratch off the NEC Versa LX PCMCIA entries as fixed, I assume this patch

I'm getting '__alloc_pages: 7-order allocation failed.' every time I
play something to my maestro card (using the maestro kernel module,

I don't know if this is specifically a problem with the AGP driver or
with X, but basically the AGP driver detects an aperture base address
different from that of the prefetchable memory area of the video card
and the mtrr's are not in agreement.

There is a problem that it does not downgrade the IO if all you have is
iCRC errors. The threshold is 10 events without other errors and it
should skip you from ATA-66 to ATA-44. If you did not enable the tuning

Basically this is an Intel 440BX PIIX4 issues, but the solution is global

Taisuke,
After some changes in the code to conform to the near final taskfile

It is in the latest patch for 2.2.17 published on kernel.org but I forgot
to remove a blocking stub in ide-disk.c
Please try it and comment offline for now.

Earlier this month, I had sent in a patch to 2.2.18pre17 (with

for IDE disk larger than 32GB, even if the disk required "clipping"
to reduce apparent disk size due to BIOS limitation.

Ok.
This may in fact be an Athlon CPU bug. But before we contact anybody from
AMD, I'd really need to know what the result

I tried all three versions, and no freezes. I forgot to mention the tests
were run on a model 2

It's quite strange that I cannot seem to trigger the
problem here on my machine.

Your test program is indeed sufficient to trigger the
freeze. Unfortunately the patch does not make a
difference :(
My test program caused the exception (and the freeze)

Hi Linus,
include/linux/time.h leaks out mktime, creating a possible conflict with
POSIX mktime. This patch puts mktime and a few helper functions into
#ifdef __KERNEL__
Originally for 2.4.0-test11-pre6, but applies also to 2.4.0-test11-pre7
Cheers, Werner

Also many of people work to add to linux jail-like functionality,
which is expected to be real security tool unlike bsd jail.
I think from the same source where you read about jail

Well, because lots of people seem to THINK that chroot imprisons
someone. And "jail"
Hello!

Jail maybe is. Chroot is not. It is even not clear, why you remembered
about jail here. Chroot does not imprison anyone.
