Hi!
Here is a new syscall. With this you can change the owner of a running
procces.
I put the architecture dependent part (syscall NR, and function address)
only to the i386, becouse I'm not familiar with the other arch.
What do you think about it?
I think it's useful, but...
Now I'm writing the

Yes, but
The conclusion: it's cannot be implemented without slowdown.
So ignore my patch.

Hi!
How can I check the memsize of a matrox g400?
I have a card with 16Mb memory, and the lspci show this:
Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. Millennium G400 16Mb SDRAM
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at e600 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
Hi!
I was copying some files from ext2fs to reiserfs, and then this bug
occured:

Hi!
where can I find the documentation about fb programming?
I would have a lot of questions, so first I want to read the docs, but I
can't find it.
Is there a mailing list about fb programming?

Hi!
I just noticed, that a process with nice level 19, gets some processor
time, even if there is another process, which would use all of the
processor time.
for example, there is a setiathome running at nice level 19, and a
bladeenc at nice level 0. setiathome uses 14 percent, and bladeenc uses
Hello!
I just did my daily apt-get upgrade + netscape w/ 32Mb ram, so it swapped
a lot. at that time there was a swap file on an ext2fs, but I think it's
not about swapping.
so the screen I saw (there is one digit missing):

Hi!
if the kernel writes swaps out something to a swapfile, which is on
a filesystem the kernel hangs up. (the Oops is below)
I tried it with kernel 2.4.3-ac14 and 2.4.3-ac10, and it works perfectly
with 2.4.3-ac10.
the filesystem type does not matter, at least it hangs with ext2, and
reiserfs.
Hi!
there is a bug in page_launder introduced with kernel 2.4.3-ac12.
if the swapfile is on a filesystem, then after swapping out some
pages, the system locks up. sometimes it writes an oops message.
I don't know exactly what's the problem, but with the attached
patch it works. (this is just a re

is it the only bug in the swap handling?
or why is this bug triggered so heavily if the swap is on a filesystem?
I had oopses when I used a swapfile on a partition, bu

hmm. so we can remove every check for good values in the kernel. yeah,
that would be pretty fast.
yes, I know it's really unusual to call sys_s
