APIC errors on 2.4.4

Hi, I'm having IO-APIC errors with 2.4.4. I spent some time searching the web to understand more about this problem and I'm still not sure if it is a hardware problem on the motherboard or a problem with the kernel. I will try the noapic boot option, but are there any patches that might fix this?

New AIC7xxx driver - Berkeley DB1 to DB3

RE: [PATCH] 2.4.5pre3 warning fixes

Looks to me like it's adding { and } on each side of the "c->devices->prev=d;" statement... so changing from: if (c->devices != NULL) c->devices->prev=d; to if (c->devices != NULL){ c->devices->prev=d; } I assume the new compiler likes the if to have explicit brackets instead

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 se

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 Mak
