Hi, first of all, I am not complaining, or calling things buggy. I know that what I am running is "work in progress" and that one gets what one deserves :-) 2.4.x has been stable for me and given me no severe problem besides the changed pcmcia/cardbus support somewhere in 2.4.4-acx Just let me

pcmcia problems after upgrading from 2.4.3-ac7 to 2.4.4

2001-05-03 Thread Martin.Knoblauch
Hi, my DE-620 pccard stopped working after upgrading the kernel from 2.4.3-ac7 to 2.4.4. This is on a Toshiba 4080XCDT. I used the "good" .config from the 2.4.3-ac7 build to do a make "oldconfig". The symptoms at startup are: >PCMCIA: Starting services: >PCMCIA: using scheme: SuSE >/lib/modules

Size of /proc/kcore growing over time ?

2001-05-11 Thread Martin.Knoblauch
Hi, is it normal that the size of /proc/kcore grows over time? Directly after a boot it has the size of the physical memory. Over time it seems to grow slightly. In about a day it went from 192 MB to about 203 MB. This is 2.4.4-ac6 running on a Toshiba Notebook. I ask, because I thought the si

make menuconfig - cosmetic question

Hi, this is most likely just a small issue. If I knew where to look, I would try to fix it and submit a patch :-) When I diff config files pocessed by "make [old]config" and "make menueconfig", it seems that menuconfig is not writing out some of the "comments" that the other versions do write.

Hi, apparently the method to find out the version of the reiserfs[progs] mentioned in above file does not produce any result at all. # reiserfsck 2>&1|grep reiserfsprogs reports nothing. If I look at the output "manually", there does not seem to be any version in there. Martin -- --
