usb audio will be made to work again, but it's

Besides that, the audio driver

Same problem wit test9-pre kernels (duno when this started, but test8
seems to be fine, and pre9-final is compiling now)
For me it locked up in pine, just after sending an Email, but not always.

Great start. To complete it we need some info on the read/write
interface. Is it the same as for other drivers? I have heard that read
is called once after returning an EOF. Is this so? I suppose there are
other interfaces also, e.g. ioctl, etc.

Hi there,
just a side note. It is recommended that you use the mga.o from dri tree
anyway...
not the one from the kernel tree. That won't help much about the
underlying problem with the loading order but since there is no way to
compile the mga.o in from the dri tree the problem itself vanishes ;

There is no documentation for the -exported- procfs interface as far as
I know. As for internal interfaces, who knows what you are asking...
Here's a rough outline: (maybe somebody should clean t
Pardon my ignorance, but:
Can anyone point me to a quick explaination of what

means or what to look for when you see something like this?
I'm guessing size-64 is from the slab allocator... so kmalloc() or
something is being called incorrectly so

Hi Linus,
Two patches for 2.4.0test9 configuration follow.
1. I found two bugs in configuration utilities:
- Menuconfig doesn't ignore commented out "endmenu" commands (while
commented out "mainmenu_option" it does). I don't think it is
intentional... Especially as it breaks s390 architectu

Please include your patches inline so we can easily quote them via the
standard e-mail reply feature.
i2o_block.c: you don't need EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS (yes, I know it was there
before)
sd.c: why do you add two blank lines, but change nothing else?

Linus,
This patch is a resend of my other link fix patch that didn't get
in test9-pre9. I assume this is because of some other changes
to upper layer scsi drivers.
This patch is a lot smaller because the "moving files around" part
has been omittet.
So please apply this patch and do the followin
