Weird (apparently FPU-related) bugs in 2.4.0

2001-01-14 Thread Steven Walter
Ok, this sounds weird, and it is. After running 2.4.0 for... 1 day, 18 hours straight, I've run into some strange behavior. Most noticeable is that, whem playing sounds, XMMS squeaks. However, the squeaks show up on the graphic equalizer, which means to me that it is getting bad math results.

ISAPnP Buglet in 2.4.0

Weird (apparently FPU-related) bugs in 2.4.0

Ok, this sounds weird, and it is. After running 2.4.0 for... 1 day, 18 hours straight, I've run into some strange behavior. Most noticeable is that, whem playing sounds, XMMS squeaks. However, the squeaks show up on the graphic equalizer, which means to me that it is getting bad math results.

ISAPnP Buglet in 2.4.0

Problem in a nutshell: The module for my soundcard (cs4232.o) won't load until after a "cat /proc/isapnp" has been run. I'm guessing (though not sure) that this isn't the intended behavior. ISAPnP is compiled into the kernel, and detects the card correctly during boot, as evidenced by the

serial driver not properly detecting modem

It would seem that I have a modem (hardware based, not winmodem) of PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_OTHER. This, unfortunately, prevents it from being automagically detected by the serial driver, which only looks for devices of PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_SERIAL. I've fixed this here merely by adding an

This patch modifies serial.c to detect the ActionTec PCI modem. This particular device has a class of PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_OTHER, so it isn't detected by the current catch-all rule that detects devices of "PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_SERIAL". Patch is against kernel 2.4.3. Tested to compiled

If you're logging in as root, this is probably a result of the VT not being named in /etc/securetty. Devfsd mucks up the names, so you can either include "1," which would allow root logins from pseudo-terminals and other insecure places, or upgrade your util-linux to a newer version; I'm not
