Ooops if forgot to post an email address with my plea for help about login problems but do not know if I should broadcast it
here. I will just monitor the help forum then.

Hello all. I am having problems loging into kernel.trap. My username appears to still exist but my email address which has
changed appears to no longer work. Also password cruft is broken What needs doing now ? Username = rwilcher

Kirk Murrin of Linux Guru Consulting has published a clever looking demo hack that adds a web interface to mconfig. The hack aims to let users configure and build Linux kernels remotely, access kernel and driver documentation, and even use browser forms to add and edit source files.

I want to modify the linux kernel 2.4 to treat the compressed files as the directory & allow all the directory operations to be performed on them.
This modification will obsolate all the Compression & Decompression tools avilable today,like GUNzip etc.

I want to do this as my semester project.
I have around 3 months with me.
Please tell me about its feasibility.

I am inserting a module into kernel 2.6...._FC5 and getting error "Nothing to be done for all" in Makefile while exceuting Makefile...

Please send me good examples,, if anyone had experienced before like this!
Thank you

Hi, I found a reference to a poll conducted at kerneltrap on version control applications but I cant find it on the site, Are old poll's kept? any info I can get would be awsome,
thanks

I can't seem to add a comment to the story on the main page about the documentation to the Linux memory barrier API. There is simply no "add new comment button" like there is on all the other main page postings.

Could this be because it was posted by Amit instead of Jermey?

Thannks!

I would like to submit my article or news to this site, but have problem converting my code to look nicely (text fomratting :(

anyhow, here's an article on numerical systems and their transformation (conversion) I worte... hope it helps someone!!

Numerical Systems and Transformations

Is there a mechanism for a kernel module to register for a specified process exit notification. In our example the kernel module allocates certain resources for the process and in the event of abnormal termination of the process, we would like to clear the resources allocated by the kernel module.. Any suggestions on how process exit notification can be propagated to the kernel module?

Hello everyone!

I have a particularly vexing problem. For part of my research, I would like to know what 'kernel-mode calls' a particular system call is making. I am aware that strace allows us to see what low level system calls are made at the kernel-mode, user-mode interface. The problem with strace is that it stops at the lowest possible level of user mode. For my purposes, I need to know what those particular low-level user mode system calls are actually doing with regard to the kernel.

Hello,

Is it possible for Kernel to "write" to userspace asynchronously to a program which does not "sleep" on read()?

The userspace opens my device, registrants itself and provides the address where the mydev will write a value when something changes.

ioctl (MYEVENT_ID, &value);

I do not want to keep the userspace in sleep on device, it is not essential to notify it when exactly the value is being changed, I just like mydev to "write" to userspace asynchronously like to shared memory.

Hi,
I work on XP from few days i am experiencing a funny problemon my pc. what happens is while i move my mouse here and there suddenly it works on its own it open start menu, folders, closes some windows and deleted some files. i have tried to control it by lifting the mouse up while its doing htis funny functions it stops doing all these but again whn i put my mouse down it do all the above things and it does it for 30 seconds and again to normal.

Hello everyone,
