Hello, with test10 I get this oops during boot, at the moment of

You can use the /proc interface or a device file

These are the most common ways, not sure if there are more.

I once complained about the s390 port not compiling because

You seem to have changed include/asm/irq.h then, adding [] to it,

You can use copy_to/from_user functions present in kernel space, provided
you have valid userland pointers
also put_user/get_user for single datum transfer.

Hi.
Last weekend, I bought new 45GB Maxtor IDE disk for my old

I can't get Linux to recognize more than 32GB.
In fact, it didn't even boot without clipping the capacity of
the disk. And once clipped, Linux just never sees past 32GB bord

Hi Linus,
I think that the check for inode->i_op == NULL in various
vfs_XXX() functions is bogus, i.e. if it is NULL then it must be a bug in
some filesystem's ->read_inode() method and therefore, instead of
returning error to userspace we should immediately panic, since it is a
kernel bug.

Also there is a unnecessary RDONLY check.

Alan, rep ; nop is one of the suggested 2 byte fillers in the Athon
optimization guide; it's handled during instruction decode and is
completely free. It also has no effect on K6s.

I have seen this with my IBM Thinkpad 600E several times.
Many (newer, at least) IBM machines I've seen will pow

It might be convenient to have a completely unoptimized 386 kernel. While
this would obviously be non-optimal in all cases, it would be compatible
with everything and probably faster on non-386 than a 386-optimized
kernel. Of course, the gains are probably not worth the time it would take
to
Hi,
I have a rather strange problem in regard to routing and tcp/ip connections.
My setup:
- default route to eth0, metric 2
- ppp dialin to static ip (ppp0), is another default route, metric 0
I open a telnet connection over the ppp0 interface.
I then down and remove the ppp0

Hi Taisuke,
So you like that TASKFILE. ;-)
The 48-LBA stuff is on hold because it requires more tha

Don't complain, build your own and test it ;-)

I am using the 2.4.0-test10 kernel. I have a sound blaster 16 which
works fine under 2.2.17.
I see that a while back someone posted on this problem previously but
there were no answers I can find..
Is support for soundblaster16 ISA broken in the 2.4 kernel? Compiled in
or used as a module I can
I'm trying to port my driver from 2.4 to 2.2. When I try to compile it, I get

Hello,
I think I have summarized the discussion for clarity:
1. rep nop can used with all x86 boxes, unless a valid example can be found where it
doesn't work. Athlon works with the rep nop.
2. There's a bug in get_model_name(),
