Hello,
Linux 2.4.1 (and 2.4.2-pre1) thinks my Cyrix 6x86 P166+ is a i486-class
machine. (It is a i586-class CPU.) 2.4.0 didn't recognize the
model name; 2.4.1 fixed that, but I guess the cpu family part may need
fixing too.

I am quite new to rawio and am experimenting with with its usage. My test

All I am trying to do is to write and read to & from the disk using a raw

Hi, all. I've just released version 1.3.11 of my devfsd (devfs
daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/
This works with devfs-patch-v130 and devfs-patch-v99.7 (or later).
The main changes are:
- Workaround changes in glibc 2.2
- Handle cases where fds [0:2] are closed already.

This is an offtopic question. What determines the amount of 'reserved' memory,

The implementation of SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT in ymfpci.c is too hacky (as
of 2.4.1-ac3). The comment says that it was done for Doom only.
The attached patch makes the implementation of SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT
similar to those of other cards (the code from cmpci.c was used).

As part of better understanding some of the issues in SMP,
I've been working at documenting all the global kernel locks in use,
including what's left of the BKL, and have run into a use of the BKL
that seems pretty consistent and also pretty obscure.
The code base I'm inspecting is 2.4.0-test8.

Just edit lib/isc/unix/resource.c and find following line:

Ok so whats wrong
When using -Dfoo='"bar"' in CFLAGS, it ends up as -Dfoo=bar in the
.flags file. This difference causes the FILES_FLAGS_CHANGED to get
set for any files that have that in their CFLAGS, and therefore they
are always remade.

Now, only 496 undocumented config options in the 2.4.1-ac3 tree left to go,

This patch applies to 2.4.1-ac3.
