why is it that so many people seem to think that it's a good thing to only
use precompiled kernels from the distro?
a kernel tuned for a particular machine can boot faster and run faster

Hi,
I've documented x86/i386/IA-32 Linux kernel init
(after loaders). It's fairly large, so there may be
too much detail here and I may cut back on it some if
that seems to be needed.
Comments, feedback, corrections, and additions are
welcome. As I say in the intro, hopefully some of you

I have a problem with the buffering mechanism of my blockdevice,
namely a ide_scsi DVD-ROM drive. After inserting a DVD and reading
data linearly from the DVD, an excessive amount of buffer memory gets
allocated.
This can easily be reproduced with
cat /dev/sr0 > /dev/null
Remember, nearl
Just to clarify, this is a custom Toshiba chipset. It
includes IDE, PCI controller, etc. I believe the IDE
controller may be on the ISA bus as it does not show
up with lspci, etc. I'm not sure of the exact chip,
perhaps someone with a better knowledge of toshiab
products does.
Thanks,

To recap:
The machine is an NFSv3 client. The header of outgoing NFS UDP/IP packets
is sometimes corrupted, such that network sniffers on unrelated systems
report bogus ARP packets. AFAIK there is no data corruption on the
file level because the request is no longer recognized by the NFS
server.

IMHO this is an obvious change, but it is untested... dquot_hash and
dqstats are correctly declared static and in BSS, and thus are
automatically cleared at kernel startup.
Since quota init now just printk's a startup message, we can safely make
it an initcall.

Yes, but I am too stupid: there were a faillure in my
