parport_pc is now trying to load parport_serial.o at init_module() time.

If the initialization of parport_serial fails, we obviously get an error

Hi,
I stumbled onto a strange behavior which may or may not be related
to the stalls reported by a couple of people.

Hi Eric,
This patch fixes a typo in the help for CONFIG_PPC.
Of course we can discuss whether the PPC is the successor to the 68000 series

Perhaps it's best to not mention the 88000, else people will think they found

I went trought 8 Athlon, (latest 1300 Mhz 200Mhz FSB).
Usually those stability problems are related to power supply (it should
be at less 300 Watt).
If the power supply does not give enought Ampere, and the energy
is fluttuant, the Athlon cpu really suffers.

Hello!
I get 'grow_inodes: allocation failed' during installation
of dev*rpm package.
I've found archive thread about inode leakage in 2.2.6 and 2.2.13
but I couldn't find whether this has been fixed in later
kernels.
Is it possible that I have the same problem in 2.2.19?

The applied patch updates the documentation of using binfmt_misc to

With Windows, you just double-click on the file, so Linux should be able

I am not saying it should be removed. But IMO it is a legitimate (if
not the originally intended) use of "start" to serve as a pointer to
a memory ar

You mail them to Linus, with a cc to linux-kernel.
If he likes the patch it will be part of the next (pre)release.
Trying to use an AIC7890 SCSI controller with kernel 2.4.5 I have

This would be a bit bad, because it would require people to guess

Dear LKML,
(Please CC your replies to me, since I'm not subscribed)
How can I find out the module name which handles a /dev/dsp* device
and/or the full name of the Sound Card I'd be addressing by it?
For /dev/mixer* devices, there's a SOUND_MIXER_INFO ioctl to retrieve
the Mixer chip name, but
I just got a bunch of messages from vger.kernel.org, sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], claiming a "local configuration error"
and some kind of a loop.
There is no configuration that has changed on that machine for
at least two years although our firewall got updated last week
to fix the ECN bug.

Hi,
this patch fixes the hard hang (no SYSRQ) on inserting
any PCMCIA ATA/IDE card (e.g. CompactFlash, Clik40 etc)
to a PCI-Cardbus bridge add-in card.
Thanks David for his valuable explanation about what happens:
ide-probe registers it's irq handler too late! After it
triggers the interrupt dur
