Hi
The real issue is that if you use MMX or FP state, the kernel _must_ save
and restore the original state other wise user programs will see corruption.
We all know this too well since redhat's 6.1 (I think) kernel had this
optimized MMX functions that _screwed_ up user programs. The fact is...

You are not allowed to do ATAPI-DMA on these, yet.

Hi,
I ran into some trouble while compiling the pspell library that the
new version of Balsa requires - okay, so perhaps I was asking for
it :-) I ran the configure script fine, but a kernel oops occurred a
few lines into the "make" process. I gather that it might be
something to do with
Hi all,
I have recently been plagued with the problem of depmod complaining of
missing symbols after a kernel compile - and I am completely stumped as
to what is causing this.
- I confirm that no pre-existing /usr/src/linux or /lib/modules/2.2.17
directories exist.
- I download and unpack a
Am I right in assumming that 2.2.14 (as from RH6.2) supports cPCI? Or do I
need to start developing on 2.4?
I really do need to do some research into this, if I knew where to start. I
need some docs! (either paper, URL, or the straight-jacket kind)

It looks like you will
Hi,
I've just spotted a small problem with 2.4.0-test8 running netfilter:
NAT: 3 dropping untracked packet c065d3a0 1 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.9
This seems to be caused when you have connection tracking enabled, and
you ping the local network broadcast address. The filter rules specific

Fair enough.
What about the ALT-SYSRQ-P thing? I guess that wouldn't be
