After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single

My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully

Question on using modules with kernel.
I've been building the latest git kernels for the G4L project,
and the latest

currently have
two of the nic drivers that cause problems when build into

This patch enables the full functionality of truncate for hugetlbfs
files. Truncate was originally limited to reducing the file size
because page faults were not supported for hugetlbfs. Now that page
faults have been implemented it is now possible to fully support
truncate.

not really; if you have a template
pm_no_suspend_needed
and
pm_no_restore_needed
functions, and just make it part of ALL device structs that don't need
it.. it's not that bad
or maybe
pm_generic_no_suspend
Changes from ver(1)
- __page_symlink(): In order to be on a safe side add explicit zeroing content
before fail (just in case).
-do_lo_send_aops(): If prepare_write can't handle total size of bytes requested
from loop_dev it is safer to fail.

The machines giving problems are almost identical when it comes to

Arjan,
I checked the man page, and it says ...
utime, utimes - change access and/or modification times of an inode
I just want to "read" the access time, and not changing it.
Thanks,

Dear list,
After meeting a faint-hearted Linux kernel lately I decided to try myself
at persuading it to not be afraid of NFLOG. This chat gave a series of
ten commandments I present today. Take a look and agree or comment.
Here's the list:
1. nfulnl_log_packet() - don't count the same thing
