On Oct-05-1991, Linux was announced to the world.
It has been nine long years since, and look what Linux has turned out to
be?
Congratulations on your 9th Anniversary, Linux !

Hi *,
Attached you will find a patch which adds support for CS89x0 base PCMCIA

Future improvements include better integration with the non PCMCIA CS89x0

Hi
I have a Dual Pentium III 500 Mhz machine.
It has 1GB of memory, an internal amimegaraid controller, two additional
scsi ultra-wide controller sym53c875E (using sym53c8xx.o) and acenic
gigabit ethernet card. I'm patching every kernel to use vlan (802.1Q) and
reiserfs. Currently a 2.4.0-test4
I'd second that this is most likely a VM related problem. Last few days I
sent you an example that I would make system hang simply by
doing a mkfs on 90 GB file system. This happens when low 1GB memory is used
up (but I still have high 1GB available). I think
David probably ran into the same prob
It's great that the NFS patches got into 2.2.18, but why only the client
and not the server patches? Having clients capable of NFSv3 but no
servers doesn't make much sense IMHO! How shall I test the NFSv3
patches whitout servers capable of NFSv3!
It would be great to see Dave Higgen's patches get

i've emailed various people about this already, but i've figured out a
couple new things.
basically, when i added ram to my linux-2.4.0-test8 box taking it from
96M to 192M of ram. esd over tcpip started popping, hesitating,
distorting. if i limit the memory at k

Linux 2.2.17 only allows 255 processes at any one time. Is this a

A "page" is the hardware VM page size (usually 4kB or 8 kB)
A "block" is usually the size in which the filesystem al
