Hello.
I have just built 2.4.6-pre5 in the hope that the tulip 21041 driver
support might have been fixed but find that it is not.
(SMC/Digital DC21041 Tulip rev 17)
Cheers and thanks,
Stephen Davies

There seems to be a major problem with this board and 2.4.x kernels.
I consistantly get SCSI Input/Output errors on multiple drives that I

Calling this a BUG is misleading. It is ok to be occasionally wrong
regarding the preemption priority as long as RT tasks are not involved.
This is due to the fact that PROC_CHANGE_PENALTIES are used, which already
provide for some priority inversion.

Some of the comments in and before handle_pte_fault() are obsolete or

My Linux for Alpha on UP2000 SMP has had the same problem with
the newer kernels 2.4.* with the tulip network driver.
It's got Netgear 310TX with the Digital's original 21140 chip.
In my case, it has nothing to do with the APIC because Alpha
does not have anything related to APIC.

Hi Alan.
What is the Right Way[tm] as of 2.4.6 to allocate 16Mb as 4K
pages and get the pci bus address for each page? Bonus points
is they're virtually contiguous, but that's not necessary.
IIRC, the old vmalloc-then-walk-the-pagetables trick is
considered out-of-bounds nowadays.
Gunther,
It fixes a BUG in CFA, but what will it do to the other stuff?
Parse it exclusive to CFA and there is not an issue.
Also look closely
No all ./arch have a control register doing this randomly without know the
rest of the driver will kill more than it fixes.
