I have taken the kgdb patch for 2.4.0-test9 and ported it to 2.4.0.

When I switch to 2.4 kernel my SCSI card does not detect anymore,
because AHA1542 driver does not accept kernel command-line options.
I send small patch to fix that.
I'm not subscribed at the kernel mail list, so please send any
question/answer to my personal mail address.

The following patch:
(a) Adds a URL for the egcs 1.1.2 source code. This change is both
low-risk and important IMO.
(b) Fixes two sloppy underlines.

You need to distinguish between SCSI-the-protocol and
SCSI-the-physical-layer. The term "SCSI" alone is simply too ambig

Hi,
following happened on my well-known SMP VIA based GA6VXD7 motherboard.
Last week on Thursday I decided to connect printer to the box. To do that
I had to switch parallel port mode from ECP to Normal (because of I
had problems with that printer). Today I found, that since that time

I have had no luck finding a bigmem patch for the 2.0.x kernel. I am in
the situation where I would rather not update the kernel, do I have
any options?

Err, I should have mentioned that the configs I used for .17 and .18 are

I probably missed a message or note or something about this, but when I went
from 2.2.17 to 2.2.18, my sound card (SB Live!) stopped working. It seems
