Hi,

I was doing some debugging of my Linux-based target.

The PC value showed that the function executing is do_futex. I derived the thread_info and
task_struct pointers of "current" using the value of kernel stack-pointer.

The state field of task_struct showed that the process is in state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

I used the example firewall from the openbsd faq:

lan_net = "192.168.1.0/24"
int_if = "em0"
ext_if1 = "fxp0"
ext_if2 = "fxp1"
ext_gw1 = "192.168.10.1"
ext_gw2 = "192.168.20.2"

# nat outgoing connections on each internet interface
nat on $ext_if1 from $lan_net to any -> ($ext_if1)
nat on $ext_if2 from $lan_net to any -> ($ext_if2)

# default deny
block in from any to any

Hi,

I've put the linux to the embedded device. It use RedBoot bootloader to load the kernel and I can't change command line parameters that are provided to the kernel.

Now the params are: console=ttyS0,38400

What I need is: console=ttyS0,38400 root=/dev/mtdblock2 ro

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to get WDM to run under NetBSD5. Startx works and a fluxbox session opens without problems, mouse working and everything.

XDM kinda works. Login screen appears, accepts username and password and loads a fluxbox session. Only problem is now the mouse doesnt work.

Hello,

I'm trying to dump a byte code from binary kernel module using objdump:

Hi, I was trying to make my own filesystem module and I get this error when I try to compile it under vanilla kernel 2.6.24.

Note: I compiled under 2.6.19 to 2.6.23 and I don't get this error

Hi,

Hello,
I'm writing a char device module which should implement a cyclic buffer (with forced overwriting of older data). I want another module (a network device) to write on such cdev, while on the other hand I'd like to access the cdev with read operations from userspace.
On the network device I'm using sys_write (declared as extern) function,which seems the right function to do the job.

I am preparing a server for data acquisition from a big CCD camera. It uses PCI controllers which came with some software including a kernel driver module for 32-bit systems. Specs say Fedora 8 (2.6.26 kernel) but I found it working also in Centos 5.3 (2.6.18 PAE kernel). The driver requires that the appropriate amount of RAM is reserved for its use and it seems that it MUST be under 4GB.

Anyone got kgdb successfully patched on kernel 2.6.25.7 for ARM (arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnueabi)?

I get the following using 'linux-2.6.15.5-kgdb-2.4.tar.bz2' (couldn't find the exact kernel / patch?):

Hello all!
Does anybody know how to detect that MMC card is locked (by write-protection switch)? For example by ioctl or via sysfs?

P.S. I know that I could guess by write operations failure. :)

Hi Netdev,
Does the 82573E support jumbo frames,
I have about 130 Supermicro servers with this ethernet card, and im trying to slightly increase the mtu ie: babyjumbo.
I know that Intel does not support it, but comparing the FreeBsd em-6.9.8 driver to the linux e1000 shows that perhaps it is supported if ASPM is disabled.

if_em.c FreeBsd driver:
