Why can't I flush /dev/ram0?

2001-06-18 Thread Kelledin Tane
At this point, I'm trying to get an initrd working properly. So far, it works, the system boots, etc. etc., but whenever I try to do a "blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram0", I get "device or resource busy" When I mount the filesystem to check it out, nothing appears to have anything open on the files

drivers/usb/ov511.c does not compile

2001-06-15 Thread Kelledin Tane
Apologies if this has been posted before. I imagine it has. In kernel 2.4.5 stock, ov511.c fails to compile. A little intelligent searching through 2.4.4 source reveals that the following line in 2.4.4: static const char version[] = "1.28"; is missing in 2.4.5, and this is why it does not com
