Hello,
I compiled both kernel versions 2.4.2-pre4 and 2.4.1-ac18 on my Alpha
Station 400 4/233 and both stop when they are start init. I include the
boot log and sysrq dumps for 2.4.1-ac18, I passed init=/bin/bash as
kernel parameter. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Would too many things break if this was changed?
Should user-space tools like ipcs be rewritten to use /proc/sysvipc
instead? (I notice that my old 2.2.14 kernel doesn't have
/proc/sysvipc...)

May be said vendors should give a look at l-k between 2.2 and 2.4 instead

You are right.
/proc/sysvipc/msg is correct. It shows:
cbytes: 1048575
qnum: 95325
ipcs shows:
used-bytes: 65535
messages: 65535
It's a 16-bit number issue.

I'm using these drivers just fine on a couple of streaming servers that
get hit pretty hard.

I've noticed this when attempting to build APMD, mc146818rtc.h has
a reference to a spinlock_t while asm/spinlock.h is not included.

I'm testing it.
Could you check /proc/sysvipc/msg?
I know that several API's have 16-bit numbers, perh

When is that specification for 2.4 drivers going to be available? Talk
about "stifling the marketplace"!!! Vendors cant even write reliable
drivers if they want to.

Hello,
ipcs (msg) gives incorrect results if used-bytes is above 65536. It
stays at 65536 even though messages are being read and removed from the
msg queue.
The sysv msg queue either ignores the /proc/sys/kernel/msgmnb value if
it is above 65536 or simply gets it wrong. Proof: I can place more
