Hi All, I am booting a 2.6.18 kernel on a PPC405GP with a AMCC Walnut board. I use the JFFS2 image as my File System for my board. And I see the error as "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" => tftp 0x800000 /tftpboot/tallam/kernel_5_2 ENET Speed is 100 Mbps - FULL duplex connection TFTP from server 172.xx.xxx.2; our IP address is 172.xx.xxx.177 Filename '/tftpboot/tallam/kernel_5_2'.

Devpts namespace patchset In continuation of the implementation of containers in mainline, we need to support multiple PTY namespaces so that the PTY index (ie the tty names) in one container is independent of the PTY indices of other containers. For instance this would allow each container to have a '/dev/pts/0' PTY and refer to different terminals. [PATCH 1/7]: Propagate error code from devpts_pty_new [PATCH 2/7]: Factor out PTY index allocation [PATCH 3/7]: Enable multiple mounts of /de...

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/7]: Determine pts_ns from a pty's inode. The devpts interfaces currently operate on a specific pts namespace which they get from the 'current' task. With implementation of containers and cloning of PTS namespaces, we want to be able to access PTYs in a child-pts-ns from a parent-pts-ns. For instance we could bind-mount and pivot-root the child container on '/vserver/vserver1' and then access the "pts/0" of 'vserver1' us...

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/7]: Allow mknod of ptmx and tty in devpts We want to allow administrators to access PTYs in descendant pts-namespaces, for instance "echo foo > /vserver/vserver1/dev/pts/0". To enable such access we must hold a reference to the pts-ns in which the device (ptmx or slave pty) exists. Note that we cannot use the pts-ns of the 'current' process since that pts-ns could be different from the pts-ns in which the PTY device...

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/7]: Factor out PTY index allocation Factor out the code used to allocate/free a pts index into new interfaces, devpts_new_index() and devpts_kill_index(). This localizes the external data structures used in managing the pts indices.

This is a list of some of the sub-projects that I'm planning for Control Groups, or that I know others are planning on or working on. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. 1) Stateless subsystems ----- This was motivated by the recent "freezer" subsystem proposal, which included a facility for sending signals to all members of a cgroup. This wasn't specifically freezer-related, and wasn't even something that needed particular per-cgroup state - its only state is that set of processes, whic...

I am curious to ask, why were these lines omitted from the megaraid SAS driver with kernel version 2.6.15 onwards. In my opinion these were blocking physical disks which were part of a RAID set on the controller from being visible to OS. Is this correct?
