Dear sirs,
Few year ago, I wrote patch for tulipl.c(kernel-version 2.0.35)
that works on MX98715,and I found that it mostly work version 2.2.1 and 2.2.11.
So I'll send patch for tulip.c(kernel-version 2.2.1, 2.2.11)
I tested it on 2.2.1 to 2.2.13, but I think it should work on 2.2.1 to 2.2.13.
First a little more data on the problem.
1) I've never seen it with the client and server program on the same
computer.
2) It only repros on some systems. If I can repro it on some systems
and then make the client the server and the server the client the
bug will often fail to repro.

Hi, list.
My MIPS machine has no any disks or flopies. So i obliged to use a RAM
disk with a file system on it, which is mounted as root.
I use gzipped initrd image, which is linked to the special section in the
kernel during compilation. Now, the RAM disk size is really big, so i
decide

Seconded. 3Com stuff is overpriced but reliable. They have also (prior to this
event) been very good at working with the Linux community, including digging out
docs for old MCA
Hi,
Attached is a patch to enforce a non-blinking, FreeBSD-syscons like
block cursor in console mode.
This is useful for laptop types, or people like me who really really
detest a blinking cursor.
NOTE: It disables the softcursor escape codes
(/usr/src/linux/Documentation/VGA-softcursor.

Currently it is set to 65535. I doubled it several times and each

Isn't it? Are you really sure about that? I thought UDP was the
not-guaranteed-one and TCP was the one guaranting that all data reaches the
other end in order and all. Please enlighte

Here's the end of my run -- I assume this means my config works OK?
I'm on a dual PIII/600 linux-2.4.6-pre3 -- ran it all on the local host.

Nuther anecdote:
I was creating a big swapfile on ext2 (because 2.4.5 needs too much swap)
with dd (SCSI disk on Sym53c8-something controller) and corrupted
the partition THEN fsck would cause the kernel to panic. I thought
I had some bad hw ... the box sits on my office floor waiting resurrecti

Since while using only a small subset of primitives provided by the pthreads
the burden for the other primitive maintanence is much more so i too feel
when we use only a small part its better to implement in our own requiredd
way for performance issues.

Sorry to disappoint you. Still the VIA "clock timer configuration lost"
error message on ASUS board, ca every 1 - 5 minutes.
Either the messages are still bogus or the asus board is buggy too.

Hi,
In the vfs layer when we see the lookup_dentry() function code we see that
a part of the code checks whether low level filesystem wants to use its
own hash. the part odf the code that calls the filesystem dependant
hashing is "error = base->d_op->d_hash->(base,&this);". Why should it

Yes, this is nasty. The appended patch fixes that. (I am not really
happy to need the PG_marker flag for writepage.)
The patch also fixes two other problems:
