In linux-2.4.0-test13pre3 (or maybe pre1 or pre2),
mm_struct->segments became mm_struct->context.segmnets. This change
adjusts linux-2.4.0-test13pre3/arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_system.h accordingly
so that i386 math emulation will compile again.

Hi,
I'm trying to get kde2 running and i'm not positive if it's a KDE problem,
or a kernel thing.
Whenever I start kde, the kde startup gets so far and the system freezes.
Sometimes it does it at "Loading the panel" sometimes it'll get to "100%
KDE is up and running" and do it. When it does it t

Axel,
The following patch to the help section for appletalk.o:
* Updates a reference URL to a permanent (non-employer dependent) location.
The old URL has been redirecting here for a while.
* Explains why you'd be crazy to not compile appletalk as a module.
I attempted to align

Hi,
Looking at the second loop in elevator_linus_merge(), it is possible for
requests to have their elevator_sequence go negative. This can cause a
v long latency before the request is finally serviced.
Say, for example, a request (in the queue) is jumped in the first loop
in elevator_linus
