Question about process/kernel address space

Hi, in some elderly code for a VME-supporting 824x-board from our company I found the following line in ppc_md.setup_io_mappings(): io_block_mapping(0x8000, 0x8000, 0x1000, _PAGE_IO); This is obviously meant to map a window of VME IO memory into virtual address space. What puzzles

Because our board will be turned on and off frequently, so I think high stability is the important, and a R/W file system is prefer selection too! Another performances such as speed of booting is not the focus! Now our system can runs ok, I use EXT2 FS as the root file system build in a 32M

Just to add to Wolfgang's comments, turning off power without warning is not simply a file system problem. It is a hardware problem that NO file system, no matter how robust it is, can survive. The memory chips (flash, EEPROM, battery backed RAM) require a finite amount of time to actually

anyone ever see swap_dup: Bad swap file entry?

I am using the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree from http://ppc.bkbits.net/ and a ramdisk which I downloaded from Wolfgang Denx's FTP site. The compile environment is the latest ELDK. I have this tree and ramdisk working just fine on an MPC8260 processor. I took that support and changed a few lines of
