This fixes a bug in the autoconfig_startech_uarts function in
serial.c. The problem is that 0's are written to the baud rate
registers in order to detect an XR16C850 or XR16C854. This makes the
Exar ST16C654 go kablooey. Saving and restoring the baud rate

with 4 bytes but the client is in a GUI loop and isn't receiving them. They

It's not more accurate. But Hacksaw's original point was that a new user would

In theory, and for just ip configuration, nothing.

I noticed discussion of the various Via KT133A chipset problems related to
Athlon optimized kernels has trailed off. Are people successfully using
the patch that Alan Cox posted, or are there still problems?

Hi,
I upgraded from kernel 2.2.17 to 2.4.4. I used "make oldconfig" to be sure I
had as many of the prior settings as possible. Didn't change any of the old
settings. I am running under RedHat 6.2. And, yes, I did all the updates
required
to go to the 2.4.4 kernel.
I use a Seagate ATAPI tape

Hi,
The following patch addresses two issues:
- Buffer cache pages in the inactive lists are not getting their age
increased if they get touched by getblk (which will set the referenced bit
on the page). page_launder() simply cleans the referenced bit on such
pages and moves them to the

Actually I'd be just as happy to call the ARM pci_free_consistent()
behavior (BUG in_interrupt) the problem. Particularly if that ARM
patch works OK! I've gotten success reports with pci_pool from
folk using about half the architectures
