Hi,
Just a quick note to mention that I was successful in booting up a
64 node, 128p, 64G mips64 machine on a 2.4.1 based kernel. To be able
to handle the amount of io devices connected, I had to make some
fixes in the arch/mips64 code. And a few to handle 128 cpus.
A couple of generic patches

APM support for Lifebook C 6185 is broken since 2.4.1-ac1.

It works fine in 2.4.1, so I think it's not the fault of the bios.

That would be interesting to see. Certainly the mul code got extended by a bit

Hi !
Bug found in reiserfs in linux-2.4.2: reiserfs_dir_fsync has no
lock_kernel/unlock_kernel calls which are required by reiserfs journal
interface functions. It causes reserfs_panic in any attempt to fsync a
directory (on SMP machines).
Bug report was related to qmail which likes to

filesystems need to grab the bkl on their own for fsync now:

Linux 2.4.2 SMP Kernel died while I was logged in remotely. When I got
back to the box, the Kernel had spit out a kernel bug. Here's what I
copied down (didn't get the registers or stack trace, will do if it
happens again):

Perhaps APM or SMI problems?
Could you run the attached program?

So, what you're saying is that because these kernels have known problems
with rsync, the fact that my symptoms on 2.4.0 are 100% _precisely_ the
same means its not the same bug?

Hi All,
This has probably been covered but I saw this message in my logs and
wondered what it meant?
TCP: peer xxx.xxx.1.11:41154/80 shrinks window 2442047470:1072:2442050944.
Bad, what else can I say?
Is it potentially bad? - Ive only ever seen it twice with 2.4.x
Regards, Jim.

Hi all,
I brought NetGear's fa311 driver up to compile under 2.4.2. I put the
updated source here -
http://millweed.com/projects/fa311/fa311.c
Or you can apply the following patch to the source gotten from the
NetGear support site
(http://www.netgear-support.com/ts/downloads/fa31lx70.zip) -
We're doing some mysql benchmarking. For some reason it seems that ide
drives are currently beating a scsi raid array and it seems to be related
to fsync's. Bonnie stats show the scsi array to blow away ide as
expected, but mysql tests still have the idea beating on plain insert
speeds. Can an

I am wondering if it is permitted to use message queues between a user

Can anyone help me?
