I don't understand this slow behavior. I am going to describe my understanding of the situation, and perhaps somebody could read over my explanation an point out where the mistake (or missing piece) is. I would imagine that if iozone were performing lots of "read(fd, buf, 8192)" calls, then it would effectively cause this behavior: * iozone calls read(fd, buf, 8192) * kernel context-switches in. * kernel fetches a disk page (8192) bytes from disk into cache. * kernel ...

Who cares? Linus didn't invent Linux to make money, and I don't use it because I think it's going to displace DOS. As long as it does what we want it to do, and there's a large enough group of people working on it to form a critical mass, what difference does it make? I really don't like the tendency of Usenet groups to turn into arguments over politics.

< rest deleted > I got the same problem when I upgraded to the testing release of libc.so.4.2. Downgrading to libc.so.4.1 cured it. The problem is caused by c style comments in inline assembler in seagate.c. The latest SCSI patches fscsi-a07.tar.Z on tsx-11 also cures the problem.

I copied 0.98 boot and root disks from tsx-11 and couldn't get them to work. After posting some details of my problems here, I got a few responses (from people that have apparently nothing to do with tsx-11) suggesting that 0.98 on tsx-11 is broken (i.e., wasn't built properly), and suggesting that I get it from nic.funet.fi. I got 0.97 from tsx-11 and it works perfectly OK. My questions: 1. Is the 0.98 (in images) on tsx-11 really broken, or has it just been compiled to support some ...

I tried last to compile the patch-level-5-version of Linux 0.98; all went well until it got to seagate.c; then it terminated with a message to the effect that "symbol gcc2-compiled. already defined" in line 695. As I had just installed the 921121 version of gcc, I thought that might be the cause of the problem, so I recompiled with version 2.2.2d; but I got the same error message.

I would appreciate it if people would report the firmware revision level for the Adaptec when they report these types of problems (look for the number that the Adaptec bios prints at boot-up). There have been problems with older versions of the firmware on various machines, and this could in fact be related to the trouble that some people are having. The current revision level is apparently 3.10 (I know someone who bought a new one over the weekend, and this is what it came with). ...

I have installed from SLS distribution Linux 0.98pl5 on a 386/25 laptop, with a VGA-compatible LCD, 4M Ram and 100M HD (16Mbyte of swap). The system is up and running, I had only minor problems (I had to chgrp mem {ps,free} and chmod -R a+r /usr/man); but it seem I have found a really strange bug in the libX11 library (I think, may be the problem is in the Xmono server, I don't know so well X11 protocol.

I was trying to include stdlib.h the other day and I ran into a few problems. I just wanted to see if they were something to do with my setup or if they were general problems. First of all, it complained that it couldn't find stddef.h. I decided to copy the stddef.h from /usr/include/linux to /usr/include. Also, stdlib.h expected stddef.h to have a typedef for wchar_t. I'm not entirely sure what that's for, but I set it to unsigned long. Finally, both stdlib.h and math.h expect to find a ...

The same thing happened to me last night. There was lots of heavy disk traffic going on (two simultaneous compilations); I typed a command in another xterm and the machine froze. I didn't think to look inside the case at the controller LED. It hasn't happened to me before; in fact when I restarted the compilations all went well.

I had a similar problem when I installed Xfree86. In my case there were two problems the first one was that the X server started and then promptly aborted without restoring text mode correctly.
