Known issue on < 2.2.19pre kernels (do a search for "do_try_to_free_pages"
on the ML archive). It doesn't require RAID btw. Upgrade to 2.2.19prexx, it

Hi,
According to http://www.kernel.org, the latest stable kernel version is
2.4.2. The latest prepatch version is 2.4.3-pre3.
In order to get a full 2.4.3-pre8 kernel do I have to:
A. download linux-2.4.2.tar.gz and all the patch-2.4.3-preX.gz and apply
them in succession or,

Thanks.
It just struck me odd that the latest is 2.4.2 while the prepatches were
2.4.3 so I figured there must be something I missed in between (my logic
told me that a 2.4.3 patch would be against a 2.4.3 something ;-).

Bascially, the machine runs g++ about 18 hours a day on machine generated

I appear to have found a problem reading from paride hard disks under
2.4.2
Reading from the raw block devices seems to be fine.
# dd if=/dev/pd/disc0/disc of=/dev/null
works.
However, accessing partitions on the device through VFS by mounting them
hangs the machine.
With vfat and msdos parti
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to configure this controller (chipset AAA-133U2 aka
AIC-78xx)
with one RAID5 hardware volume ? The kernel 2.2.16 see all the disks
(4x18Gb) but
don't see the unique volume.
Thanks in advance.
Roberto Fichera.

It seems there is. The changes in -ac and in 2.4.3pre limit the max blocks

Zephaniah,
Does this happen in a non-ac kernel?
I have not updated code since around 2.4.0, but other have.
You point ot a few times w/ ac18, but is there one before that which does
not cause this to happen?
The question is to gain isolation of the changes.

Hello GAT,
Can you be more specific? I need a kernel and hardware info and generally
more info than what is given. Is this a PIO/DMA process is it a laptop or
unsupported hardware?

I do understand this. Greg Banks pointed it

These boards are not currently supported in RAID mode. Your
best bet is Linux MD.

Ok, this looks correct, makes reiserfs faster, and surv

Try it.

Please try a recent -ac kernel and let me know if the problem persists
or goes away.
