Hello all,
While playing around with the agpgart module I noticed the following strange
behaviour.
The hardware in question is an Asus K7V with the KX133 chipset and has been
tested on both 2.4.0 and 2.2.18 kernels.
The output below is just from insmod,rmmod,insmod agpgart without starting
X.

If I need to upgrade pcmcia-cs, that's fine, but it appears to be a bug.

Hi Petr,
Thank you for the answer.

Yes, sure. I've read the docs and tested with vesafb enabled OR matroxfb

I have searched the previous posts and have not found a solution to
the problem that I am facing.
The short problem is that I need a way to turn off arping for the lo
interface in the 2.4.0 kernel.
In the 2.2 kernel, I could do the following:

how about always_defragment (or whatever the option is now called) so that
your routing box always reassembles packets and then fragments them to the
correct size for the next segment? wouldn't this do the job?

Thanks,
this seems to confirm my suspicion that there's some incompatibility between
the NMI watchdog code and the Serverworks chipset. Still trying to find out
exactly what's wrong...

Just ext2; all of our file systems are ext2.
The disks here are a mixture of IDE, SCSI (aic7xxx and sym53c8xx), and
Mylex DAC960 RAID. In this case, the machine running 2.2.18 has
aic7xxx SCSI. I suspect I could

Mike,
Deactivating that optimization is a good idea.
What we are interested in is what the general latency of the scheduler code
is. This should help to determine that.
The only problem I have with sched_yield like benchmarks is that it creates
artificial lock contention as we basically spent m
