I've been quite pleased to see many recent improvement in hotplug
support ... 2.4 test11 is now hotplugging USB network adapters for
me when I need that! And many other devices at least get their
driver modules autoloaded (using modutils support) even if some
devices still need hand setup before
Hi,
I had 4 hangs of my server in the last days. The first was with
2.2.18pre17, compiled with gcc 2.95.2. The next two were with
2.2.18pre23, compiled with gcc 2.95.2. Then I recompiled with
gcc 2.7.2.3 and had another hang.
Unfortunately there are no logs or oopses. The machine was just dead.

Hi,
Is there a paper around which describes the use of the proc_fs in the

Nothing can be done without the full re-write of the driver.
The global request_io_lock is slammed into play way to early and release
way to late. You will have to suffer with this flaw until the spin of

I'm going to be mounting a filesystem that uses a block device from inside
the kernel. This mount will not be visible from userland nor can it be

When I try to start KDE 2.0 with SMP builds
of 2.4.0-test11-ac2 and ac4, the system locks up
after "Loading Panel". Nothing odd gets logged
to /var/log/messages.
I can successfully run KDE 2.0 with UP builds
of any of these kernels.
I can successfully run Gnome or Fvwm1 with
either UP or SMP bu
