Quite likely you didn't enable whatever driver your system needs to access the hard drive.. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ -

Its reasonable to expect that the API will expand over time as it is thrust into new situations. There is nothing wrong with the existing API, it does an admirable job of simple GPIO frobbing. But on the Geode, GPIOs can do much more then just simple input and output. We can cause events, use input filtering for debouncing, set various drain options, and more. And these are not bullet points from the datasheet that we want to implement for completeness; these functions are actually being used rig...

it might make some marginal sense to get an oops message out when there's stack overflow/corruption that damages task->comm. I've seen a good number of traces that printed out task->comm as an overlength string - which obscured other, possibly more important info that could have been printed until the system became so hosed that it would not print anything. but ... this is really splitting hairs and even when the stack and hence the task struct is corrupted, an accidental NIL charac...

On my main devel box, vanilla 2.6.23 on x86-64/Fedora-7, I'm seeing a certain behavior at least once a day. I'll start a kernel build (make Specifically, the symptom is a process, often a simple one like cat(1) or rm(1) or somewhere in check-headers, will stay in the running state, accumulating CPU time. If I Ctrl-C the build, and start over, the build will normally -not- get stuck at the same point, but proceed to chew through one of a bazillion allmodconfig builds. I also see this occ...

Hi Jens, Stephen, and Everyone else. I am seeing this crash on a legacy iSeries box. Bisect points at 70eb8040dc81212c884a464b75e37dca8014f3ad (Add chained sg support to linux/scatterlist.h). I see there were some related troubles discussed a couple days back. I've refreshed my tree, so believe I should have pulled in all the changes that fixed those issues by now, so this is an additional problem (viodasd funkyness), or I've screwed something up in my pulls, or fixes (from blk_rq_map_sg...

I am running 2.6.23.1 with kvm built from that tree as a module. My system is running Debian/testing on a Tyan board with two dual-core Opteron 2216 processors; each socket has 4G of RAM. I have attached the serial console dump including a bunch of output from SysRq (gzipped, because it was 300k otherwise). I have ran multiple passes of memtest, and I can build the kernel with -j8, but when I run kvm the host freezes. A bit about the system: quark# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.23.1 (...

Hi, usually I'll wait for rc1 and test compile external module to see which are broken and what need fixing but while I need virtualbox for some tests I test compile it on current git and it failed badly. Maybe something is missing from x86 merge ? Here is what I get : ... /linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.23-g4fa4d23f-dirty/build/include/asm/atomic_32.h:265, from /lib/modules/2.6.23-g4fa4d23f-dirty/build/include/asm/atomic.h:2, ...

Is what I did before latest pull. Maybe this whole tree got broken. I'll try a fresh one and report back. Regards , Gabriel -

Hmm. The kernel itself compiles fine ? What external thing breaks ? tglx -

Following are the accumulated kbuild updates. A mixture of new stuff and fixes. The cc-cross-prefix is new and developed on request from Geert Uytterhoeven. With cc-cross-prefix it is now much easier to have a few default cross compile prefixes and defaulting to none - if none of them were present. ARCH maintainers are expected to pick up this feature soon. The other noteworthy change is the move of the mailing list for kbuild/kconfig.

Reformat the Kconfig entries and update descriptions for accuracy. Select the driver by default for configurations of interest.

I have the following, very strange problem, which I'll try to describe now. I've already sent this to the samba mailing list (about a week ago), but haven't got a reply. As it might be kernel related and others may be affected too, I decided to send it to this list, too. A Samba server running Debian Etch with latest updates. Different clients one running Etch with latest updates, too. The other one runs either Ubuntu (don't know which version because it's not my installation, but quite re...

Polled transmission is tricky enough with the DZ11 design. While "loop" is set to a high value, conceptually you are not allowed to transmit without checking whether the device offers the right transmission line (yes, it is the device that selects the line -- the driver has no control over it other than disabling the transmitter offered if it is the wrong one), so the loop has to be run at least once. Well, the '1977 or PDP11 view of how serial lines should be handled... Except that the s...

This was the problem. Thank you. What confused me was that *only* the battery information seemed to be missing. If all the ACPI info in /proc had been missing I would have suspected something like this right away. --=20 Zan Lynx <zlynx@acm.org>
