Were Linux to go totally modular in 2.5, development cycles will be
reduced by 1/2 to 1/3. This is because you could always roll back to

The patch below allows agpsupport to find the agp functions
when modversions is set and both AGP and DRM are compiled into the kernel,
and adds the dependency on CONFIG_MODULES explicitly.
It applies cleanly to both 2.4.0-test10pre3 and 2.2.18pre16, but only
tested on 2.4

IV is 15 if you just translate the symbols, but ignore the meaning

Hi,
I need to measure the time that a packet is queued, so I´m interested in
getting the system time at the entry and the output of the queue.
My questions are the following:
Does the macro PSCHED_GET_TIME return the system time in usec or in jiffies?
I´m using a i586 processor, thus I
I,ve been burning CD's all week, and I've run across some things that may
shed some light on the CD burner bugs.
I have seen this bug on two different systems, one APIC based, the
other non-APIC based. In the case of the APIC based systems, the CD-RW
I/O errors only occur during high
Hi all,

I am very unimpressed with the current OOM killer. After 10 days of online
time, I decided to try compiling gcc again, the very culprit that killed my
last system using 2.4.0-test8 Friday night (to which I was unable to reset
the system until Monday morning).
GCC started compiling normally,
I'm chasing (what appears to be) an interrupt-
related problem that involves an Intel Lancewood
SMP motherboard and I'd like to get my hands on
something like a schematic or any other document
that details the layout. Is this info available?

You may be running into the VM: do_try_to_free_memory_failed issue --
see earlier thread. I know we certainly see it here.

Im not convinced Andrea's stuff is correct. Thats one reason for not doing it.

Will this kernel still have the 'VM: do_try_to_free_memory failed' bug
that is plaguing us here? If so, my I suggest adding a merge of
Andrea's fix on the TODO list for 2.2.18 final?
Take care,
