I had a similiar problem once, and wrote a module that overwrote the
loopback net device. Since it's loopback, the kernel won't care about
headers.
Yeah, I know: Quick & Dirty.
I made the new loopback put its packets in a queue and then deliver them
after a (adjustable) delay.

It there a way to limit how much memory is allocatable by the AGPGART code?
The reason I am asking is I am seeing some odd behaviour that I suspect is
related to that code.
When I boot the machine, it says something like "200 megs maximum available

Hi,
From what I understand from Linus's mail to lkml, there is a difference
between JFS and XFS:
JFS doesn't require any modifications to existing code, its only an
addition.
XFS on the contrary is far more intrusive.
So it seems that even if JFS is less complete than XFS (no ACL, quotas

How about a new level, say "KERN_CONFIG", with a "show-config"

It seems to be ok with 2.4.5-ac19, so I guess I'll just wait for

Ok, my two cents.
Print all copyright, config, etc. as KERN_DEBUG. Then use a 'verbose' or
similar parameter to lilo/kernel to enable console printing of KERN_DEBUG,
to be used when the system fails to boot, etc.

Old old versions of klogd had bugs where they would do that. If there is
a continuous problem it may also do so - does 'dmesg' show
