Surely it's only fatal if it's the root filesystem, and the panic() message

we should make it "read_super() if we hadn't done it yet, otherwise

One comment: This patch adds 'drive-present = 0' to the
code path for the EXABYTE case. I could not discern if this was a
shortcoming of the original code or not. Please comme

Are there any plans for including support for the ATI Rage 128 chipset into
svgalib?
The VESA setting does not work. Causes any program using svgalib to crash.
Are there any configuration settings in the kernel that may help with this?

Hi.
This trivial patch adds a kmalloc check to ide-tape.c::
idetape_onstream_read_back_buffer as per the Stanford team's report
way back. It applies against 244ac16.

Not valid because the jump to that part of the code is protected.
If a polling response for a valid status and no timeout, is detected then
it attempts to the command for real only after success or a test.
Otherwise it would be valid.

I'm not going to apply this as long as it plays experimental games with
"shrink_icache()" and friends. I haven't seen anybody comment on the
performance on this, and I can well imagine that i
