I've just applied the 1.1.54 patches to a (working) copy of 1.1.53, ran
|
|
make config choosing the usual group of options (although I added ISO9660
|
|
support which I must have accidentally turned off building 1.1.53) and
|
|
then ran make zImage. Sadly I get compile time errors (see below). I've
|
|
tried rebuilding the compiler with and without elf support but the errors
|
|
remain.
|
|
|
|
Given that noone else has complained, I assume that it's a problem with
|
|
my setup (most likely, I need a later version of something). Any pointers
|
|
appreciated.

Agreed. This does seem to always fix the problem but is a very messy way

of doing things. This is not a solution when it has to be done five to

ten times in one day.

This is the cause on your computer but what about other people. I know

that many people have the most problems with SLIP but it is definately
|
|
not the only place an error occurs.

This may be the cause on your machine but it certainly is not the problem
|
|
on mine. As has been found by many other people it is not even a problem
|
|
in the inetd.

For comparison, I don't seem to have much of a problem.
|

|

Linux Kernel Revision : 1.1.54
|

Mouse in Question : MS brand busmouse (circa 1988, aka InPort)

Mouse IRQ : 5

Do you take care to disable selection when using X11? I was under
|
|
the impression that selection can't be enabled when using X11 and
|
|
a busmouse. You did say X11 "or" selection, so I guess you're
|
|
aware of this problem.
|
|
|
|
At any rate, I don't compile selection into my kernels, since I'm
|
|
always in X11 anyway.
|
|
|
|
Also, I'm not seeing the poor performance that you seem to be experiencing.

|
|
|
|
I don't have procinfo here, but I did
|
|
|
|
cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 120; cat /proc/interrupts
|
|
|
|
and got:
|
|
|
|
5: 1301090 MS Busmouse
|
|
|
|
5: 1304723 MS Busmouse
|
|
|
|
while running X11. I don't understand why any interrupts are necessary
|
|
as long as the mouse doesn't move, but this is considerably less
|
|
troubling than what you saw. This is with a 386-33.

Nope, at this moment this is not possible. Problem is the NFS server is only

supposed to accept requests if the socket requesting the connection is bound

to a port below 1024.

I don't, I use 'strace', which does the very same thing ;-)

Maximum transfer unit.

The MTU is the maximum size of a "packet", you want this to be
|
|
as large as you can get it since datagrams would otherwise
|
|
fragment into multiple packets, increasing your overhead
|
|
per datagram because each packet has a seperate header.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, if you make the MTU too big then you
|
|
may have to have interactive traffic wait for a second or
|
|
to for a large large batch (ftp) traffic to be sent.

I beleive IRQ 3 is reserved for tty01 under Linux. So you must put your
|
|
NE2000 card under IRQ 15 with port 340. I think is one of the best way.
|
|
But don't change your Adaptec's configuration because it's a good
|
|
configuration. If you got a problem again then you must read your
|
|
main-card's documentation for fixing the jumpers.

Hi,

I'm writing a new fs and I was wondering if there was any convention as

regards magic numbers (for the super block). I read MAGIC in the kernel

Is anyone who works in the Linux kernel development team

reading all these problem reports and doing anything

figure out which ones are bugs that probably deserve to

just pay attention to what they want to. If I were deve-

all 200+ daily problem reports and figure out if there's

a real problem behind each and every one of them....
|

I dunno....I just get the feeling that no one is being

Excuse me, but aren't we _all_ members of "the Linux kernel development team"?

You included! If you find something that looks like a problem, fix it!

We are all in this together, really...

Frankly, I see nothing here that can't be EASILY implemented with

It sounds to me that you want a database, not a filesystem.

After 3 consecutive hangs while posting news articles while

processing news, I have punted on kernel 1.1.53 and gone back to

1.1.50. No panic, no messages, no boom.... just a solid hang on

all VCs, telnet sessions, and dial-ups... no commands could be

processed at all. The only way out was a reset button reboot.

Well, I listen to anything related to those parts of the operating
|
|
system that I work on, and I'm sure others do as well. But you
|
|
have to realize that bugs aren't necessarily easy to find... for
|
|
example, it took me 6 hours to track down a timing window in some
|
|
scheduling code that I was working on. It only took 10 minutes
|
|
to introduce the bug in the first place :-)

How about a new comment start sequence for C:

|
|
|
/// This is a comment.
|
|
|
|
Using /// to start a comment will:
|
|
|
|
a) Not break any legal C program
|
|
b) Not break any legal C++ program
|
|
|
|
Too simple?
|
|
|
|
The only thing I am worried about is:
|
|
|
|
/* This is a comment with a // in it */
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
/* This is a comment with a /// in it */
|
|
|
|
What does C++ do about this?

Subject: SCSI detect....
|

|
|
Where is the code that detects what devices are on the SCSI bus during
|
|
boot?
|
|
|
|
I'm using an Adaptec 1522a, hard drive, and a CDROM. The boot kernel only
|
|
recognizes the hard drive, not the CDROM.
|
|
|
|
I looked in ~/linux/drivers/scsi/aha152x.c and sr.c, but I'm braindead
|
|
and don't see where the detection is done. Probably looking in the wrong
|
|
place to begin with.
|
|
|
|
Any help is appreciated,
|
