Hello Folks,
Environment: linux 2.2.16smp
RedHat 7.0
I am setting up a system with 1GB RAM recongized by the
BIOS during power-on procedure.
This system having troubles, I set a top command and
with surprise I got this status:
4:33pm up 4:42, 3 users, load average: 4.18, 2.01, 1.09
125
Add this:
append="mem=1024M"
to your lilo boot profiles.
... 2.4 correctly detects memory size more often than 2.2.16 ...

Hi,
I'm running a dual PIII, 3GB box (2.4.0.SuSE and 2.4.4.SuSE) getting the error

If you upgrade to the 2.2.19 kernel, this will just work,
no need for extra options. (Red Hat also has a 2.2.19 kernel
available as errata release for 7.0)

Hi,
I was thinking of starting a project to implement a Cisco-like
"NetFlow" architecture for Linux. This would be relevant for edge routers
and/or network monitoring devices.
What this would do is keep a "cache" of all the "flows" that are passing
through the system; a flow is defined as the

Hi all,
this patch fixes bug in pnpbios_rawdata_2_pci_dev() - miscalculated length of
ioport range. This function uses word at offset 6 in I/O Port Descriptor,
but according to ISA PnP specification ioport range length is a byte at offset 7
and byte 6 is base alignment.
BTW will it usefull to i

Hi,
This patch reverses the MII hunk from the previous patch (included in
2.4.7-pre6), which was apparently breaking some cards. It also fixes an
incorrect comment.
Please apply.
Thanks,

If you need to hold original skb, you may hold its refcnt.
However, this feature inevitably results in big troubles: dev_queue_xmit()
is allowed to change skb and you cannot assume anything about
Alexey replied to my last post with some valuable comments and in
response I have a new patch (that goes on top of David Miller's patch
from yesterday).
The approach here is that in case we don't have room in the skb for
PPPoE headers, we create a new one (skb2) and copy the entire thing.

I'm getting ready to do a 2.4.7, but one of the fixes in 2.4.7 is a nasty
SMP race that was found and made it clear that using an old trick of
having a semaphore on the stack and doing "down()" on it to wait for some
event (that would do the "up()") was a really bad idea.
This kind of trick was

Hey, I'm having trouble applying your first patch to kernel 2.4.6. I have a
list of 18 failed hunks.
The command I used is: cd /usr/src/linux && patch -Np0 -i
/home/arch/pppoe-davidmiller.patch Is the patch for a different kernel? I
had the same problem applying it to 2.4.7-pre8.
