Hello folks, Access to /proc//maps is now restricted to legitimate users, but read(2) simply returns 0 instead of a more explicit error. The patch below fixes this. Signed-off-by: Jean-Marc Saffroy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- Index: linux-2.6.24.2/fs/proc/

fsx failure on ufs2

Re: [PATCH] panic when booting Intel XXPRESS SMP boards

Too bad, I was already away for the weekend. Anyway, here is a dmesg from a fresh test8 kernel that now boots without any manual patch. :-) As the dump shows, no IRQ seems to be generated by the XPRESS bus on this machine. Let me know if you want me to perform additional tests/dumps on this system
