Just adding my useless complaints the the list -
Currently running test8-pre1 + rik vm patches, very solid.

I posted a few days ago reporting that under normal load on 2.2.17final

Yes, its a bug! My fault. I already sent Linus a patch. It is not

Well. Since DPT rammed me in the ass with their "SmartRAID V" RAID I need
to buy a new RAID card. I don't know who to trust. I was told (about 1

Obviously they don't. I don't a driver for over $12,000 in RAID HW. So,

For 2.4, making the IDE driver call pci_enable_device() and modifying the

I'd also want the default kernel build to create a symbol table namelist
object that gets installed into $(INSTALL_PATH) that correlates to the
kernel build. That way you build a symbol table mechanism for user-space
applications that want more complete kernel debug information, but do it

If the PPC PCI code doesn't do this, then that's a PPC architecture bug.

The comparison is was making was with OS/2, not MVS, because:
1) all too often MVS is cited as being the paradigm for RAS when infact
there are special architectural features, as you've pointed out, that might
detract from a generalised comparison.
2) OS/2 is an x86 based OS so has the problems

This is due to a bug in kernel/sys.c in the function
notifier_chain_unregister().
where the 'notifier_lock' can't be acquired while reboot is running.
I suspect any other drivers that call this function on shutdown from
unregister_reboot_notifier() (in the case where the root filesystem is

There was a suggestion from Alan Cox that .config.gz be appended to
bzImage, after the part that gets loaded into memory, to which I added
the suggestion that System.map.gz also be appended. That about tak
