In the Linux proc filesystem, /proc/[pid]/fd is a link to the
actually the actual pathname of the opened file.
I am curious how Linux convert an fd to the pathname? Does it
recursively walk back from current dentry to the root?
AFAICS the fd has a pointer to the vma of the file (don't ask me

Thanks for the replies guys, I am building the ata_piix and
ata_generic drivers into the kernel now...hope this works :)
You do not need ata_generic

Hi,
this more of an informational question. So:
kernel version is 2.6.22.1 on i686
/proc/uptime
9917.81 9140.90 (2h45m)
/proc/cpuinfo:
CPU0
0:282 IO-APIC-edge timer
this is kinda neat, I expected much more interrupts than just 282 since
boot. What kernel code

The pattern repeats and fill the whole screen.
That looks pretty much like all-one-bits (ÿ = 255).
What about vcsa1 (use hexdump -C)?
