"adcl 12(%1), %0\n\t" ^[1] > "1: adcl 16(%1), %0\n\t" > "lea 4(%1), %1\n\t" The first one is better readable and the latter one is more portable (since the first may contain tabs in the string, instead of spaces and no one sees this)

Re: network unusable

booting and after inserting the proper networking modules, your .config and lscpi - would be nice. I don't experience any problems like that here. Regards Ingo Oeser -- 10.+11.03.2001 - 3. Chemnitzer LinuxTag <http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/linux/tag> <<<<<<<&l

cramfs b0rken on HIGHMEM machines

Re: [PATCH] OOM handling

16 X clients. I never had OOM there. I think this is the amount of memory an oracle server at least have to have, right? What are your ulimits? What are your amounts of RAM+SWAP? Regards Ingo Oeser -- 10.+11.03.2001 - 3. Chemnitzer LinuxTag <http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/linux/tag>

Re: OOM killer???

help system is ok (because I will not loose work, and might get it over the net, if there is a problem). So as Rik stated: The OOM killer cannot suit all people, so it has to be configurable, to be OOM kill, not overkill ;-) Thanks & Regards Ingo Oeser -- 10.+11.03.2001 - 3. Chemnitzer LinuxTa

[PATCH] Making Cyrix III boot

Re: troubles with devfs ?

h of devfsd. No such problems here and cannot reproduce this behavior. But I have no real SCSI adaptor. Only ide-scsi and imm (Iomega-ZIP+). So this might be an SCSI-Issue... Regards Ingo Oeser -- 10.+11.03.2001 - 3. Chemnitzer LinuxTag <http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/linux/tag> <

Re: [PATCH] vma limited swapin readahead

dn't they be on inactive_clean anyway? They are not mapped (if I read Stephens comment correctly) and are clean (because we just read them in). So if we have to put it there explicitly, we have at least a performance bug, don't we? Or do I still not get the new linux mm design? ;-( Totall
