In several cases I've got more then one of drives completely

Hey folks,
The work-in-progress patch for-demonstration-purposes-only below consists
of 3 major components, and is meant to start discussion about the future
direction of device naming and its interaction block layer. The main
motivations here are the wasting of minor numbers for partitions, and

IMHO this is an obvious change, but it is untested... dquot_hash and
dqstats are correctly declared static and in BSS, and thus are
automatically cleared at kernel startup.
Since quota init now just printk's a startup message, we can safely make

To recap:
The machine is an NFSv3 client. The header of outgoing NFS UDP/IP packets
is sometimes corrupted, such that network sniffers on unrelated systems
report bogus ARP packets. AFAIK there is no data corruption on the
file level because the request is no longer recognized by the NFS
server.
I have a problem with the buffering mechanism of my blockdevice,
namely a ide_scsi DVD-ROM drive. After inserting a DVD and reading
data linearly from the DVD, an excessive amount of buffer memory gets
allocated.
This can easily be reproduced with
cat /dev/sr0 > /dev/null

Just to clarify, this is a custom Toshiba chipset. It
includes IDE, PCI controller, etc. I believe the IDE
controller may be on the ISA bus as it does not show

products does.

That is not the problem. The problem is that the re
Ok, so appending agp_try_unsupported at boot gets the agp working (at least

Attached is the original version as found in /var/log/messages as well

The most interesting thing here is the pyxis "tbia" fix.
Whee! I can now copy files from SCSI to bus-master IDE, or
