Hi,
this fix lets linux detect cards which don't
have a correct checksum.
These are probably common, it seems isapnptools _silently_

The I/O APIC code for 2.2 contains a little trick which sets the destination
to 0 to disable an I/O APIC entry. This apparently trips up the I/O APIC
on AMD-760MP systems causing a lockup during boot.
This patch removes that trick in favor of doing what 2.4 does, masking out
the entries.

I have a Asus K7V motherboard and a SB 128 PCI soundcard.
The motherboard is vt82c686a based.
The SB is a ES1371/AC97 card, seemingly identical to the onboard sound on
this type of motherboard.
However, the sound rarely works, and there are problems with the parport
too.
Sound does not work (usu

One difference between idle and a running user space app is that the

Perhaps cpu_idle() should also check for pending softirq's before

There are some scheduler patches that are not part of the
main kernel tree at this point (mostly since they have yet to
be optimized for the common case) which make quite a big
difference under heavy load - you might want to check out:

2.2.19 pre13 sends an RST in response to a retransmitted SYN ACK which
arrives after we've sent out the final ACK of the handshake. For

IIRC, when this discussion of swap size first came up, the general
conclusion was NOT that you should have swap = 2 * RAM, but that you
should have swap(2.4.x) = 2 * swap(2.2.x), that is, twice as much swap
as you did under 2.2.x.
So if you never swapped at all under 2.2.x, you should not need

Isn't it possible to put something like this in the layer just
above the driver ?

Ok I understand better now.
So when we swap in, the place is still reserved in swap for the next time we swap off
the same memory part.
The swap is freed only when the owner terminates.
Then when we need more memory, we need to swap off but we don't use the duplicated
part.
I understand that it
Greetings,
This is a reproducible oops, and my guess is that it's related to
the tulip driver included in the 2.2.18 source tree. We're using
a D-Link 4 port NIC, and it appears that it doesn't work well with
IPV6 interfaces.

Hi,
may be thats a bug, or I'm doing something really wrong :)

Now, the linuxrc process may still access the old root via its
executable, shared libraries, standard input/output/error, and its
