Frank,
"Frank Tiernan" does not exist at Promise anymore, and that company is
HOSTILE towards Linux Now.

I am trying to create a system which boots off of a cd and has no hard
disks. So it needs ramdisks. But I haven't had much luck creating
large ones.
I tried on two different boxes. In both cases the kernel is 2.4.5 with
'Simple RAM-based file system support' turned on.
One box is a dual Penti

A lot of daemons, all on a private network

Why turn on ramfs if you're not going to use it?

And on sparc64 since all machines have an iommu, we use just ZONE_DMA

Received an oops in the 2.4.2 kernel on an x86 SMP system, 640 MB RAM
(Compaq DL380 Server). The line of code this crashed on is in fs/dcache.c:
void d_instantiate(struct dentry *entry, struct inode * inode)

-->list_add(&entry->d_alias, &inode->i_dentry);

Greetings. I've been wondering about the behavior of linux IRQ routing on
certain systems running 2.4.x kernels (particularly .3 and above).
I have an AMD KT133A system. I have two friends with PIII-based laptops (one
toshiba, one thinkpad.) We have all noticed the exact same strange behavio

Hi,
I am using yellow dog linux on Apple, I am not finding "rdev"
command here.
Is there any equivalent command or replacement is present in Apple?.
Thanks in advance,

In my everyday desktop workstation (PII 350) I have 64MB of RAM and use 300MB of
swap, 150MB on
each hard disk. After upgrading to 2.4, and maintaining the same set of applications
(KDE, Netscape
& friends), the machine performance is _definitely_ much worse, in terms of
responsiveness and
