While you're there, why not eradicate sys_get_kernel_syms()?
Also, I've been sitting on (and using) this sys_init_init_module()
bugfix for two months.
This is probably responsible for

USB in 2.4.0-test9 had several broken pieces in it.
Something like 2.4.0-test10-pre6 is much better IMO.
However, the USB printer driver in test10-pre6 still
needs the attached patch (already sent to Linus).
Please try test10-pre6 with this patch and let me know how it is.

Hi,

more). - you might have to increase the 16bit waitstates as well (or
instead of the 8bit ones).

However all software is *not* written to use LFS extended versions
of things. Often using defines of:

If I use some GPL'd code and make calls from my software to the GPL'd
code, do I need to make *my* code available? Or would I only have to
make available any changes to the GPL'd code?
Section 2.b of the GPL seems to indicate that I need to make the source
for my entire executable available if i

Hi,
I have a problem with mkraid
I am working on a Red hat Linux ver 7.0
kernel version: 2.2.16
No raid patch
no raid tools
when I run
#mkraid /dev/md0
when I check /proc/mdstat,I find md0 active
with raid information.
But when again I run
#mkraid /dev/md0
I get an me
Alan,
I agree with your point. In term of usability, the e100 driver has a wider
range of support for the Intel NIC cards.

Dear Linus,
As you know we at MontaVista are working on a fully preemptable kernel.
In this work we have come up with a couple of issues we would like your
comments on.
First, as you know, we have added code to the spinlock macros to count
up and down a preemption lock counter. We would like t

Thats not the general consensus, but its worth trying in case it works best
for a given problem. In paticular it knows about bugs with combinatio

Consider this:
A subsystem that is statically built into the Linux Kernel is modified
to allow the registration of a structure containing function pointers.
The function pointers corrolate to a set of functions within that subsystem.
If the new structure of pointers has been registered, the ori
