Bad trend.
Serial needs to be treated just like parport: the basic hardware code,
then on top of that, a selection of drivers, all peers: dumb serial

Is it possible to move serio.c and serport.c up into drivers/char. I'm
finding many drivers that use this and it is a mess to have to enable
joysticks just to use other types of devices like touchscreens.

I'm sorry but this is a regression, plain and simple.
Previous versons of Linux have worked great on diskless workstations
with NO swap.
Swap is "extra space to be used if we have it" and nothing else.

OK, Linus said if I use swap it should be at least twice as much as RAM.
there will be much more discussion about it, for me this contraint is a very
very bad idea.
Have you ever thought about diskless workstations? Swapping over a network
sounds ugly.

No, the boot proceeds normally. I loaded ipv6 module manually after boot and

Hi all,
I was testing the kernel support for the LMC1200 interface (E1/T1)
and like specified in the help menu a user land tool is needed to
configure
the interface. But during the compilation time is reporting this error

notice that in some places, Fahrenheit is used, and in some places,
Celsius. It would seem logical to me to have a global config option,

Upgrade the whole disk subsystem just to cater for this issue? That would
turn out to be a bit more expensive in both money terms and downtime/labour
costs.

In all cases system does not see Netware server (NW5.0 sp3) in

in order to do early support work for this new chipset. It sounds
like pretty interesting technology.
