ACPI seems to be broken on 2.4.4-ac6 or atleast
poweroff is broken. During bootup all ACPI
prints is that it was enabled, it used to
(in plain jane 2.4.4) print the sleep levels
supported by the bios but does not in ac6.
What could be the cause?

Why? __GFP_FAIL is only useful as an indication that the caller has

Hello,
I have installed Linux 2.4.4 on our remotely-administered dedicated Web
server (600MHz Celeron), and strange effects occurred with the Davicom DM9102
network card. It was active but apparently VERY slow, 85% packet loss in ping.
I could connect to the machine but could not do anything usef

Hi Linus,
This patch brings the documentation for /dev/fb* in sync with the
implementation.
The implementation behaves like this since nearly ca. 1.5 years.
This patch is in Alan's tree since nearly 6 months.
Thanks for applying!

After compiling and installing a 2.4.4-ac6 kernel I noticed that some
programs (notably 'grep') started crashing with 'Bus error's and
captured some 'strace' output... In all cases the last four lines of
output from strace are:
mmap2(0x8059000, 32768, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIX
For a RH7.x, at least, there is the /boot/kernel.h file generated on bootup,
and the RH kernel headers include it somewhere.
You can see if the corresponding symbols (coming from it) are defined, and
assume redhat than.
You might consider using passing -dM down to the preprocessor with the

I did my own playing with 2.4.x on the 14gb model of this tape drive, all i've managed
to do is be able to write to the tape, but not read from it. Even in 2.2.x, putt

Hi,
A friend of mine uses linux-2.4.4 on his nice dual P3-1000 machine
(AsusTek Motherboard). The problem is that the kernel gets stuck at the
initialization of the APIC during boottime. The real weird thing is that
if he boots linux-2.2.18 and afterwards 2.4.4, the kernel boots
properly. So it se
Please CC me on any responses as I don't read the kernel-list in my
inbox. Thanx.
I am looking for comments on the attached patch. It's purpose is to
allow IP AutoConfig to happen additionally after the loading of an
initial ramdisk.
This allows one to use a "generic all-purpose" built kernel
