java/old_mmap allocation problems...

hi, i'm having problems to convince java (1.3.1) to allocate more than 1.9gb of memory on 2.4.2-ac2 (SMP/6gb phys mem) or more than 1.1gb on 2.2.18 (SMP/2gb phys mem)... modifing /proc/sys/vm parameters didn't help either... the fact that i can allocate more memory under 2.4 than under 2.2

Hello, Zilvinas! There are utilities that work with PnP BIOS. They are included with pcmcia-cs (which is weird - it should be a separate package) and called "lspci" and "setpci". They depend on PnP BIOS support in the kernel (CONFIG_PNPBIOS). Dumping your PnP BIOS configuration and checking

What did we do First we added two things for the Promise owners. If you have a FastTrak and you wish to use it in normal mode, we have a solution now. Place all the drives in "span" with only one drive per array. This makes each array a single device. This will work; however, you must

sorry, not sure which of my CDR trouble you're refering to, but I still am not succesful in burning cdroms from my linux box (2.4.4-ac5). The hardware runs fine using older versions or MS windows though. Regards, Frank. On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 12:46:38PM +1000, Glen Morris wrote: > Frank > >

RE: Exporting symbols from a module.

If you have a local makefile with which you wish to build your module not linked under the kernel tree in the proper way, you still can "ride" on the master Makefile. This way one can eliminate the dependency on your particular machine kernel compilation options to be hardwired in the local

newbie problem: compiling kernel 2.4.4, make modules_install , Help please !

Hi ! It's the first time that i try to compile my own kernel. At the moment, I have an old RH 6.1 with a 2.2.12 kernel. I have downloaded the latest stable kernel 2.4.4 tar.gz kernel. I follow these steps: - make xonfig (a give what i need) - make dep (for dependencies) - make bzImage. All

Re: LANANA: To Pending Device Number Registrants

At the risk of offending hundreds, I'll mention that dynamic naming of disks and tapes has worked very well for many years in VMS. When you e.g. mount a disk volume labelled FOO, the system creates a system logical name DISK$FOO: for it automagically. Users don't care that it's really $4$DUA7:

How can I handle this from kernel2.2 to kernel2.4 Can I replace like this?? if (test_and_set_bit (0, (void *)>tbusy)){ return EBUSY;} == with netif_stop_queue (dev); clear_bit ((void *)>tbusy); = with netif_start_queue(dev); Thanks Jalaja --- Alan Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
