i815e related

Hi, Our company is going to purchase some hardware to run Linux workstations. We're looking forward into getting i815e based ASUS motherboards, and I will be really glad if you could help me figure out the following hardware support questions I couldn't figure myself. I've searched the LKML arch

filesystem for initrd

Hi, I'm in the process of creating a custom "system partition" for out Linux servers, which is actually an initial ramdisk, coming from hd or network on boot to load necessary drivers and perform important checks before the real filesystems get mounted, and I did not find any info on what filesys

pivot_root & linuxrc problem

Hi, may be thats a bug, or I'm doing something really wrong :) from Documentation/initrd.txt: "# cd /new-root # mkdir initrd # pivot_root . initrd Now, the linuxrc process may still access the old root via its executable, shared libraries, standard input/output/error, and its current roo

union mounts WAS: pivot_root & linuxrc problem

Hi, One more thing I was wondering about, is the pivot_root call the *final* implementation of the "root filesystem changer" for kernle 2.4.*? I've read about a new VFS extension, that allows multiple filesystems to be stacked at a single mount point. As I have understood it allows to *just*

gcc-2.95.3 release

Hi, gcc-2.95.3 has just been released. Could it be used for kernel compilation, or still better stick with gcc-2.91.66 for "absolute stability"? Thanks, Art. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo i

[2.4.3-pre4] comparing eepro100 & e100

Hi, I'm setting up a new server with Intel 82559 LOM (733470-066), this is ASUS CUR-DLS. While testing the NIC performance with eepro100 driver, I was getting those famous "card reports no resources" and "too much work in interrupt". The perfomance test was actually a "ping -f -s 65507" from a

"device or resource busy" - why??

Hi, could you please help me figure out why is that happenning: After succesfull pivot_root & chroot from initrd, I *do* unmount /initrd, (no directories, no mapped files...), but I can *not* free the memory: "blockdev --flushbufs /dev/rd/0" returns "BLKFLSBUF: Device or resource busy". --

[SoftwareRAID in 2.4.1] md_import_device() returned -22

Hi, Could anybody please help me to resolve why this error is returned? (md_import_device() returned -22) I'm trying to setup software RAID0 on Asus CUR-DLS (dual channel ULTRA2 SCSI - sym53c896). kernel is pure 2.4.1(SMP), with devfs, sym53c8xx and raid0 support linked in. raidtools are 19990

[2.4.1] "DEVFS+RAID" not working

Hi, as I've posted before in [SoftwareRAID in 2.4.1], I wasn't able to get RAID0 working with devfs enabled and mounted on /dev. The problem had gone after I passed devfs=nomount, and used old device names for configuring/starting raid: /dev/md0 instead of /dev/md/0 /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sc
