It's been possible to have multiple versions of gcc installed for a very

It seems to me that Linus' idea of making device nodes work like

alternative I've seen suggested is Al's per-device filesystems which seems
similarly excessive.

Hello.
Here is a patch (tested on kernels 2.4.3 and 2.4.4) that adds 2 ioctl's in serial.c.
One, TCSSERCPR, sets the CPR register in 16C950 UARTs. This register is a pre-scaler
(that is, a divisor) for the clock. If the value is N, the clock is divided by N/8.
If N<8, pre-scaling is disabled

set to 1024 instead of 100 for various reasons. All works perfectly, except

Hi,
this moves pci_enable_device() before any resource access in probe() and
cleans up the error return values. No functional changes.

Hi,
I submitted this a short while ago, only to realize later that the
subject line was not very informative. Sorry.
As a suggestion: maybe the reiser-tools should support the common
-V/--version flag

Hi,
apparently the method to find out the version of the reiserfs[progs]
mentioned in above file does not produce any result at all.
# reiserfsck 2>&1|grep reiserfsprogs
reports nothing. If I look at the output "manually", there does not
seem to be any version in there.

Hi,
I have solid hangs (no log) with SMP machine for some time. I swapped
almost all of the hardware (incl mobo).
Dual PIII 677 MHZ on MSI 694D mobo. I had the hangs with 2.2.19 AND now
also with 2.4.4. I linked the kdb in the kernel and when the lockup
occurred I was able the get some info

I am pretty sure the C'T article mentioned that TUX did use a 2.2.x
kernel - so it does exist. How else could they make

Yes there is. From the Changes file:

TUX does not exist on 2.2 kernel
