Hi,
to me it seems, there is a bug in 2.2.18 which does not allow remote

Situation:
A diskless client shall be booted via bootp (where 'diskless' is not the

I'd like it included, too. Some toshiba laptops support sleep but not
suspend, and battery runs out within few hours if it was low before
suspend. That's bad.
And the patch was pretty clean last time I checked.

of old text books of little interest for present systems. Good luck.

Jokes apart, such "normal" environments are rare today.

Is anyone else using 2.4.2 patched with loop-6? Does load goto about 1
and stay there even though mounting things via loop seem to work fine?

Perhaps it's cold comfort, but I found long ago that
3c509 and SB don't mix too well, at least in Linux.
ISA devices are somewhat dumb, switching one
of the cards for a PCI version does the trick here.
SB128, SBlive work fine, or you might want to go
to a 10/100 pci ethernet card.
Just my $.02

Yes, and with 2 mounts the load avg goes ~2; after umounting, it goes back
to norma
Alan,
You've mentioned this before. I emailed Steve directly since I had the
same sort of problem with a trio of ethernet cards. Hardware detection
goes wacky when mixing isapnp userspace tools with the CONFIG_ISAPNP
support in the kernel. Steve told me: "I'm running debian sid, with

Hi,
Since running 2.4.2 I've been getting regular lockups, usually during
the boot process but occasionally during regular usage too. I've
copied down an oops by hand from the console (it seems to be always
the same oops, except ESI varies).
I wonder if it's related to ACPI and/or IDE - I seem t

Turn off ACPI and try that kernel. If that one also causes problems then it

CRC errors are due to faulty cables. Go buy some cables that are
good. I've had this problem and the only fix is to use better
cables. Infact, If you get really bad cables, on lets say hdc which is on
the same controller as hda, then when the kernel resets the harddrive
