I've applied the patch. The processes usually start dying within a few

I ran the null pointer dereference checker over 2.4.3 and it found the
following 15 potential errors. As usual, the context given with each
report may be misleading so you'll probably need to inspect the
source. The checker tries to help by printing the function it thinks
is returning NULL.

I forgot to mention that these 15 potential errors are only the *new*
ones. Many of the previously reported dereference errors from 2.4.1 are

As an example sound/via82cxxx_audio.c returns ERESTAR

Hi,
is this something to worry about ?
in dmesg:
PCI: Address space collision on region 9 of device VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] [8080:808f]
I know it might be unrelated with ACPI being experimental but if the
kernel is compiled with ACPI instead of APM the machine (Pre

Either disable the initial bus reset in SCSI-Select or lower

Would it be a good idea to have support for multiple Configure.help
files in the config system?
The main advantage would be that arch specific settings could
have an arch specific help file as well.
Anybody who knows: Would it be a easy to add support for this if
this is considered a good idea?

Hi !
I am looking for a gfx card to purchase for use with Linux.
Requirements :
- working TV-out ( S-Video or composite-video ), I mean really working
and supported in linux, not "it works if the BIOS initializes it and
Linux doesn't touch it"
- video support ( in HW and linux-SW ) is de
Hi
This driver seems to be pretty broken, the way it is. It does not compile.
The new author, Justin T. Gibbs, has been careful in avoiding to mention
his e-mail address in his code :-( Hence the post to this list.
As the first problem, the compile stops in aicasm_gram.c because in
aicasm_gram.

I actually don't believe in putting email address in code. They become
stale far too easily. If you e
Thats right. ACPI was what made 3c90x not work :( With APM it works perfectly.
Thanks Marcus.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
buz.c, 6pack.c use nonexistant KMALLOC_MAXSIZE in 2.4.3
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
buz.c:2837: `KMALLOC_MAXSIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)
in kernel-source-2.4.3:
$ find . -name '*.h' | xargs grep KMALLOC_MAXSIZE

I'm confused. 3c59x.c has a little acpi WOL stuff, but that's it.
What specifically is ACPI doing to break things? Are ACPI and the NIC
sharing any resources?
