Well, normally you use the ROM only as a "boot device". You copy the Kernel

Hi,
I'm looking for a fast way to initialise a file to zeroes
(without holes) and reckoned that sendfile from /dev/zero

But, unfortunately, sendfile (in 2.2 and 2.4) appears not

The only points I need to hold a spinlock are editing the chain and

sys_semop() is wrong to insist that queue.status be -EIDRM when
sem_lock() fails on awakening. It is quite normal for update_queue()
to have set status 0, removed process from queue and woken it; but
IPC_RMID come in before that process gets to run (or to lock) -
since process already off queue,
Five IPC id checks against array size are off-by-one.
Only the last instance, in ipc_lock(), really matters;
but all should be fixed to set the right example.

There's just one race. The small race is nonexistent since

Also, the PCI specification forbids executing code from ROMs over the PCI bus.
The system BIOS in a PC is not on the PCI bus, bus, but

Hello, Pete!
I understand that you tried to implement the native synthesizer for YMF
PCI cards. Thank you for your efforts!
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Linux 2.4.1-ac18 is compiled with
CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI=m and CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI_LEGACY=y.
When I load ymfpci, the kernel messages

You need opl3. The ymfpci driver is the dsp and enabler for the opl3 gunge

whatsoever.
Thanks.

Non old style OSS synthesizers dont support the legacy /dev/sequencer interface

anyone have idea?
I think someone was done before to optimizer AMD K6-2+ CPU in gcc patch.

Alan, please, tell me what is wrong. And we will repair this.
The implementation follows RFCs and even relaxes their requirements
in the cases, when they are far from reality.

Should this onboard audio work with the i810 driver, in 2.2.x
and 2.4.x ?
The card is detected as ICH2, although the driver supports only ICH.

The integrated LAN on Intel boards with i815 chipset
apparently is not fully supported. In latest 2.2.x and 2.4.x,
with the EtherExpress Pro100 driver, after some network traffic,
it locks. The only way I can use the net again is either reboot,
or ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up.

If the codec only supports 48Khz samples
