Dear Kernel developers!
Lots of things may have changed in 2.4.0-prer., because nor cdrecord
neither postgressql do not run because of system v ipc / shm problem.
After recompiling cdrecord with the new header files, started working.
I'm just recompiling postgres too.

As it is a property of the mc146818, it should be constant across all

Sparc uses drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c which is for Mostek 480

Hi Dave,
Do you run powertweak?
there is a new parameter
/proc/sys/kernel/shmall
and some powertweak versions set it to 0.

Hi Linus,
hi all,
cramfs is a read-only fs. So we should honour that in inode->mode
to avoid confusion of programs.
My isofs shows this too, so I think I'm right deleting the write
permissions in the inode. May be we should change it in
mkcramfs (too).
I don't know what POSIX says about RO fs,

Inspecting some code I found out that in 2.4.0test12
request_irq() is declared in sched.h, and not in interrupt.h,
SA_SHIRQ is declared in asm/signal.h, and not in interrupt.h
Isn't that a bit confusing? Maybe for 2.5 let's re-sort some things to
clean up dependencies...
