Hi all,
I have found an old NCR 3430 system (with MCA, and proprietary MP board)
As of now, I was able to install and recompile linux on it (2.2.14-5.0 and
2.2.18), but I haven't found any way to get smp running.
As far as I know the NCR is not Intel MP compliant.
Looking on the ml archive I fou

Hi all,
I already sent this patch some days ago, but didn't get an answer :(
So, i'm trying to resubmit it.
Attached patch (2.4.2-ac11) makes some changes in serial driver:
adds ioremap() return code checks, removes panic() calls
and adds better error handling in start_pci_pnp_board() function.

Read the mkswap source. A forest of #ifdefs,

If user !root says chown("/usr",-1,-1), he gets EPERM. Why?
He explicitly told the kernel that he does not actually want to change
anything. Why would the kernel say EPERM?

Hmm.. useful until you actually want to modify a linked file,
but then your modifying the file in all "merged" trees.
Wouldn't it be cool to have an extended attribute
for files called "Copy on Write", so then you could
hardlink all duplicate files together, but when a file is
modified a copy is t
Hi, everyone:
When I turn FORCE_DEBUG on in mm/slab.c, usb-uhci driver stops
working. It turned out that DMA headers must be aligned on 16.
Slab poisoning violates that assumption.
I have come up with a fix which USB folks did not like, but
they did not object to discussion on linux-kernel. Here

Hello,
I am developing an application for which I need to make small changes to
the source code of 3c90x.c (3com ethernet driver). Indeed, I need to
access - and modify - the contents of the packets right before they are
sent on the wire. After examining sk_buff.h, function NICSendPacket of
3c90x

If user !root says chown("/usr",-1,-1), he gets EPERM. Why?
Because the standard says:
The chown( ) function shall fail if:
[EPERM] The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file, or ..

I have reposted the PCI-SCI files since some folks have reported
corruption in one of the files on our server. These drivers
support PCI-SCI hardware versions up to the PSB66.
These drivers can be downloaded for 2.2 and 2.4 Linux at

I just checked - the kernel isspace() macro says that \r is whitespace.

Hello,
I'm experiencing a problem with an old NE2000 card. I use the ne.c
driver provided with 2.4.x kernels. (I'm using 2.4.2-ac11)
The problem is that I can ping the card (with any packet size)
but if I try ssh it doesn't work, the same for other programs which use
TCP. So ICMP

The mac address is broken. 55/AA is a common test pattern funnily enough. As
it has a multicast address it wont work.

I'm not currently on the lkml list here, so I apologize if my cut and

Hi,
As far as I understand, in 2.2.x networking code the protocol
header and data used to reside in a contiguous region in memory(pointed
to by the head, data, tail, end of sk_buff struct),
ie skb->data is the starting point and skb->tail is the ending point.
