The subject's the question, really.

I have GCC 2.95.3 but I probably need to go back in time and ask someone to make me a statically compiled version of GCC like 1.90 or something, right? :P

Or do I need to completely cross the insanity barrier and locate and compile myself a copy of EGCS?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am using Debian 5.0 with 2.6.30 kernel. I see the following messages during kernel boot. Here is the relevant dmesg output:

[ 4.368333] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6

Hi all,
I'm working on linux networking kernel because i need to create a ip/udp/ip encapsulation on packets that matches defined features.
I know that this type of packet modifications can be done using Netfiler (with iptables interface) or using xfrm policy.
Please can someone explain me the difference between Netfilter and XFRM framework or give me a link where find some documentation?

Hi all,
Iam trying to debug kernel .So I want to know how kernel get the information about the kernel loadable modules information while booting..
If kernel uses any data structure to store this information ,tell me how can i acess thta data structure.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to use the 2.6.30 kernel, but one of my two machines has a Gigabyte MA790FX-DS5 mother board. Neither the hard drives plugged into two external eSATA ports nor those plugged into the two GSATA ports at the bottom of the motherboard are being recognised. It will recognise hard drives in four other SATA ports.

Dir my friends,

I'm an application engineer. I'm in project ARM lh79525. I searched on internet about embedded Linux for arm lh79525 and I see a little document about arm linux for it.I have some trouble with embedded Linux on Lh79525. I hope that everybody will help me.
First, i illustrator my project. I use u boot is bootloader. My board boot is ok.

Hello,
I have added a DHCPv6 client (Dibbler) on my PPC Linux 2.6.12 embedded system. I am trying to find and use the Managed and Options bits/flags "M and O Flags" (RFC 5175 / RFC 4861). I can sniff the RA with wireshark and see the flags are set in the the Router Advertisement.

1. If some file's size is 5000 Bytes, then the first 4096 Bytes are read by the first page, the remaining 4 Bytes are read by the second page. What is fetched in the left 4092 Bytes in the second page space?

2. How can I check the offset of the data (eg. the remaining 4 Bytes's location)
I found there is a macro named "bio_offset", but it's parameter is bio, not page.

hi, i want to dispaly the field nfmark of the struct net_device after marked it withe iptables:

iptbles -i mangle -A PREROUTING -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark 5

i whrit : printk("%u", skb->nfmark);

thank you.

On i386 archs, there was a 3/1 (or optionally 2/2) memory split for process images. Is there a memory split on x86-64? How much memory reserved/accessible to the kernel?

Is there an equivalent to "top" which shows how much memory the kernel is using of it's 1GB? I know that /proc/buddyinfo provides some insight into this, but I haven't found any tool that offers "human-readable" information.

Hello All,

I want to know a information regarding ARM processor, I have enabled swap partition for while compiling the kernel.

I want to know how does the H/W knows the page is not present in the RAM so that it raises an exception which makes it to copy from the swap if the page is swapped out.

I know there is a bit pgd_t pte_present, But I am not sure

1) who updates this bit

I have a system that uses sata_via and sr_mod for my cd-drive. This causes the following problem:
Apr 16 08:21:43 (none) kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
