Hi Alan,
the fast IP checksum update in ip_decrease_ttl appears
to be broken (at least on big endian machines) since 2.2.18.
Even on little endian machines IMO the overflow is incorrect
in two cases:
0xfeff goes to 0x instead of 0x
0x goes to 0x instead of 0x0100
On big

that it assigns the /dev/sd... devices in the wrong order with respect both
to the behavior of kernel 2.2.19 and to the `scsihosts' boot option which I
specified at the boot prompt.

Hallo,
I have a linux system with kernel 2.4.4-ac9 and a win2k partition with
ntfs. Since because of the new ntfs version rw support is disabled, I
wondered how much rw support is broken, why and if I could try at least.
Or maybe some help is appreciated?

I doubt that it applies against -ac and I have only very few hard disk space,

Well, even if you spank the future violators, what about the current
overlaps?
E.g., the CD-ROM ioctls are overlapping
with the STREAMS ioctls (the latter ones used by LiS and honored by glibc).

If your PCI devices advertised they don't mind sharing the IRQs with each
other, ignore it if they're really capable of it. Otherwise, you'll probably
have to force one of the drivers and/or the bios to make them use separate

Sorry for the newbie question..
Is it true that the ipc calls like
msgget(),shmget()...
are not really system calls?
Cos in the file "asm/unistd.h" where the
system calls are listed as __NR_xxx we dont find
the appropriate listing for the ipc calls.

not to belabor the obvious, but there are a lot of issues with this
particular approach.

man mmap and catch SIGSEGV. Or see how the DOSemu VGA emulator
manipulates the virtual VGA memory.

It means that you're udelay()ing way to long in

You used too large of a value for udelay(). Switch to using mdelay()

Probably it is somewhere hidden on a faq.. but I will ask
again ...
Can I set a memory area or "page" to be read-only, i.e.
generate an interrupt when writing is attempted to a certain
page/area?

Linus, patch is the first chunk of rootfs stuff. I've tried to
get it as small as possible - all it does is addition of absolute root
on ramfs and necessary changes to mount_root/change_root/sys_pivot_root
and follow_dotdot. Real root is mounted atop of the "absolute" one.

Hi all.
Several months ago I set up a lvs cluster on smtp servers on 2.2.16
kernels, which now I'm planning to move to 2.4.4.
I am using direct routing alternative so I configure a lo:0 interface
with the address of the virtualserver on every local node so it can

I'm trying to run Linux RH 7.1 on the rack-mounted

I've tried some kernels from 2.2.19-7.0.1smp up to
2.4.3-2.14.14.i686 and 2.4.4.
During boot all kernels reported errors (attached at the end).

Hi,
There was a missing release_region in NCR53c406a.c, which fscked up
probing with 'modprobe NCR53c406' like one mode of our installer does.
(Tested by checking the contents of /proc/ioports before and after. After
modprobe it contained junk for the probed port range. It no longer does.)
