even that information you really get from a simple uname
Q: Would it be worth making the module author/version strings survive in
a non modular build but stuffed into their own section so you can pull them
out with some magic that we'd include in 'REPORTING-BUGS'
In a /proc file, maybe? A single file (/proc/authors?
/proc/versions?

You can do whatever you want in your own code.
But if it makes the code behave badly, others have the right to change it.
That's what the GPL is all

I consider them harmful when I start getting annoying patches that start
adding more and more of them.
Which is how this whole thread started.

Right. In the code. Not in the Linux boot diagnostic information.
Which is why I proposed earlier that we make it easy to shut them off.

JFS doesn't require any modifications to existing code, its only an
addition.
It depends how clean the interface is. It is possible to avoid changing
core code by writing your own clone of it - that isnt good and doesnt make
people happy sometimes.
XFS on the contrary is far more intrusive.
A little test report follows...
Just tested RedHat's 2.4.3-12 and 2.4.5-ac19 on A7V133 mobo. RedHat's kernel
seems to work without lockups, but 2.4.5-ac19 doesn't (locks up at boot,
compiled w/o athlon optimization and ACPI), so no changes on that.
2.4.3-12 also correctly detects cable

Interesting. They should be the same code for the VIA driver.
2.4.3-12
ok.
i just do another test.maybe meaningful.
1)no matter i select -march=i686 or -march=i386 the result are the same.
2)the server 192.168.0.254 (netboot) ,client 192.168.0.3
there are /usr ,/usr/local/ ,/home, /lib, /bin ... on the server
on the client
A: mount -t nfs netboot:/usr /usr
