The first time it crashed, it didn't say anything (not even panic) it just
rebooted. The second time it said "panic:page fault" and synced the disks
but that was it. The version of FreeBSD is 4.1-S as of monday.
This morning I tried to reproduce it, but I was not able to. At first I

Yes, that's right next DUPLEX option to put data on both sides of the
page, thus doubling the capacity. Didn't IBM come up with that just
recently?

After a pile more testing last night, I've updated the driver for
the new Mylex controllers again. This code should now work correctly
when loaded at boot time or statically compiled into the kernel, and as a
bonus, it ought to work with 4.x systems as well.

Hackers,
I was playing arnound with jail (mostly to see how/if it worked). After
setting up a environment a la jail(8) I started jail. Everything worked fine.

The problem with Tannenbaum's book is that it doesn't cover any modern
operating systems. Mr. Bl

Fellows,
Ok, this is a working edition of the fm801 chip driver attached.
It tested with play, rvplayer, x11amp.
I've found no probs so far.
Can anyone put it on the cvs tree?
Put it to /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/fms.c
To add it to the kernel you have to add the line
dev/sound/pci/fms.c

Not at this point in time. There's been some noise about it, and I've
been promised one to work on, but nothing's happening just yet.

I recommend reading "Modern Operating Systems" by Andrew S. Tannenbaum
(Prentice Hall). Though a bit old (1992, I think) it will give you most of
the information you want.
Hope that helps

These are four totally unrelated questions. For most OS's, I'd suggest

The short answer: none of your questions has a short answer.
A recommendation: get Kirk McKusick's "Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD",
it has a lot of the information you need, and a quick skim through the
relevant chapters should be enough to give you an idea of the answers
you need. I think

I want to allocate some memory for device buffer using malloc
