Using CML2 1.1.0 'menuconfig' on clean 2.4.3 (mach is PPro 180)
Suggestions:

Reading ext2 code I found some inconsistencies
in endianess handling, could anyone comment
on this?
Also there is a unnecessary RDONLY check.
I understand that it happens to work anyway
but they confuse understanding.
Or am I missing something?

Tried running pre4, here notes:
1) scsi devfs: /dev/scsi/host0 is now /dev/host0, /dev/scsi exist
but is empty.
2) lots of messages: Warning - running *really* short on DMA buffers
