I tested 2.6.23-rc2-mm + Peter's per-BDI v9 patches, versus 2.6.20 as
shipped in Ubuntu 7.04. I realize there is a large delta between these
two kernels.
I load the system with du -hs /bigtree, where bigtree has millions of
files, and dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1048576. I test how long it

OK when I send the patch I'll assume you will test it :)

I am trying to change the spin rate of my IDE DVD-ROM drive. My system is
an Apple PowerBook G4, and I am using kernel 2.4. I want the drive to
spin at 1X when I watch movies. Currently, it spins at its highest speed,
which is very loud and a large power load.

I've been seeing a lot of complaints about aic7xxx in the 2.4.3 kernel. I
think that people are missing the crucial point: aic7xxx won't compile if
you patch up from 2.4.2, but if you download the complete 2.4.3 tarball,
it compiles fine.
So, I conclude that the patch was created incorrectly, or
The attached patch adds the a new mode to the modedb, used by the ATI,
3Dfx, and Amiga frame buffer devices. The new mode is the native,
slightly wide resolution of the new Apple laptops. It isn't obvious how
popular a mode has to be before it goes into modedb.c.

This problem has been reported by various people since at least pre5. I
still get this message upon boot with the latest pre kernel:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 204M
agpgart: Detected AMD Irongate chipset
