Re: Unable to open an initial console (on SMP machine)

ok, here are some more details: NO, i do not use devfs. thre is no problem at boot time. /dev directory is where it was supposed to be. /sbin/ /etc and everything else is OK. nothing is wrong with /dev directory. everything else WORKS. just that /dev/console /dev/ttyX and /dev/ttyXX and /dev/vcs

new aic7xxx oopses with AHA2940

Hi *, I have problems with the new aic7xxx-Driver. These problems exist with vanilla (2.4.4, 2.5.5, other d.k.) and -ac When I built it into the Kernel, it will panic on boot when it tries to access the adapter. Built as modules it segfaults when i try to insmod (modprobe) it, following this O

2.4.4 and VC display lost

I have mentioned this weird behaviour under 2.4.3 as well. if I use X for some time, I alwasy switch and forth between the (IMHO) idel CLI and sometimes switch back to the clumsy GUI. now, what happens is that sometimes, after I switch from X back to a VC, the display gets black and stays that w

[patch] severe softirq handling performance bug, fix, 2.4.5

i've been seeing really bad average TCP latencies on certain gigabit cards (~300-400 microseconds instead of the expected 100-200 microseconds), ever since softnet went into the main kernel, and never found a real explanation for it, until today. the problem always went away when i tried to use

Re: [PATCH] Re: 2.4.5 does not link on Ruffian (alpha)

It should note, though, that -not- using CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC seems to have a detrimental effect on my machines, in 2.4.5 vanilla. When built with CONFIG_ALPHA_NAUTILUS, my UP1000's IDE totally fails. It probes the drives ok, on boot, but a logic hang occurs where no more boot progress can be ma

I merged Rik's three liner fix to alloc_pages for GFP_BUFFER, plus my other fix in create_buffers wait_event and a bit bigger reserved pool of async bh. I'd suggest to test if this makes the highmem deadlock to go away. Detailed description of 2.4.5aa1 follows. --
