Good Afternoon,
I would like to advise that we have posted the following new driver to our

Thank you,
Ok, the new MM balancing has been getting good reviews, and no longer has
any known issues. Integrated. We'd have needed to do it sooner or later
anyway (just see what happened in 2.2.x), the sooner we do it the less
traumatic it will end up being.

Hi!
few weeks ago, I installed a PROMISE Ultra66 IDE card into my SMP Linux box.
But my box sometimes hang up at high load avarage with "stuck on TLB IPI
wait (CPU#0)" messages.
I upgrade my kernel to 2.2.17 but it also hangs.
My kernel is linux-2.2.17 with following pathes.

Well. Since DPT rammed me in the ass with their "SmartRAID V" RAID I need
to buy a new RAID card. I don't know who to trust. I was told (about 1
year ago) that DPT was the Co. that liked/worked with the linux community.
Obviously they don't. I don't a driver for over $12,000 in RAID HW. So,

Hi,
I've been having kernel oopses with the 2.4.0-test series and am including ksymoops processed output from both test4 and test5 kernels. The same oops happens in later kernels too (Tested with test6, test7 and test8).

pull the connector from the hub and load the module and then plug
it back in, it works fine. I somehow suspect that the nic selects

If the PPC PCI code doesn't do this, then that's a PPC architecture bug.
DO NOT DO THIS IN THE DRIVER! Fix the real problem
The comparison is was making was with OS/2, not MVS, because:
1) all too often MVS is cited as being the paradigm for RAS when infact
there are special architectural features, as you've pointed out, that might
detract from a generalised comparison.
2) OS/2 is an x86 based OS so has the

bzImage, after the part that gets loaded into memory, to which I added
the suggestion that System.map.gz also be appended. That about
