loopback mount broken in 2.4.2-pre4

2001-02-20 Thread pf-kernel

The subject gives just about all the information I have.  :)  If I try to
mount an iso image via loopback while running 2.4.2-pre4, mount will hang
forever.  Downgrading to 2.4.1 seems to resolve the issue (haven't tried
any previous -pre patches).

Kernel 2.4.2 - kernel BUG at apic.c:220!

2001-02-23 Thread pf-kernel

When running 2.4.2 on a pentium 4, I get the following during boot: (any
typos are due to me typing this in manually, off of what I see on the
monitor connected to the P4.  I've made sure the addresses are correct, at
least... note that this happens with noapic passed as an option to the
kernel as well)

This is a single CPU system, not dual.  The kernel is compiled for a
single CPU system as well.

Looking at .config, I notice that Processor family is set to
Pentium-Pro/Celeron/Pentium-II.  I could have *sworn* I changed that
before compiling.  Could that cause the problem I'm seeing?

In any case, I'll try to get some time early next week to try the patch -
this is, unfortunately, a work machine, and as such, needs to work, even
if I go with 2.2.x.  :)

I'll let you know when I can try out the patch.
