One comment: probably the best way to maintain backwards compatibility
for people who used binfmt_misc as a module would be the following:
post-install binfmt_misc /bin/mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
pre-remove binfmt_misc /bin/umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
in the /etc/modules.conf. Then insmod binfmt_misc and rmmod binfmt_misc
will have the same effect as they used to do.
However, the Right Thing(tm) is
a) let mount do insmod (not the other way round)
b) use less idiotic mountpoint (binfmt_misc is sysctl-related, so it
got no business being under /proc/sys).
BTW, the new code in fs/binfmt_misc.c can be considered as a demo on how to turn
drivers into filesystems...

Um... Does that include 686a? 82c686a is supposed to handle UDMA66...
Or is it a corruption issue again? UDMA66 seems to work fine on
mine... No corruptions yet.
I've used 82c686a at UDMA66 on MSI 694D with WD418000 and standard UDMA66 18"
cables quite successfully.

What that line does is to build a tool (aicasm) to generate the ucode that
is built into the kernel (afaik, it is a kind of assembler from a language
to AIC sequencer code). That is, the tool uses db1 (as mkdep.c uses glibc)
but once you have generated the sequencer instructions, that is what is built
into the kernel, not the tool (aicasm).

Amazingly you've hit one of the few problems caused by something outside
the kernel tree. db v1.85 has been superceded by db2 and db3. db1 is
where the "original" Berkeley db stuff now lives. Apparently aicasm
needs db 1.
So, update your packages, or create the proper symlinks if you've
already got db1 installed in some other location.

Yuck. Build-dependency on libdb-dev is not pretty. What is it used for,
anyway? Assembler in need of libdb. Mind boggleth...

It's very nice... Now one should have not only special kgcc to build the
kernel, but also the obsolete library with all the development stuff
installed... Is it sane?

I _DO_ know what db1 stands for. And we do _NOT_ have db1 in our
distribution, KSI Linux. And we are _NOT_ going to build the obsolete
library with all the accompanied development stuff just to be able to make
some tool required to build exactly ONE kernel driver. It was a nightmare to
get rid of TREE incompatible libdbs so it doesn't make any sence to get that
mess back in. It's just plain braindead to do something like this. Occam was
right and this is plain stupid.

Well, it sounds like you're not going to be using that driver, then :)

What I dunno is why the h... is needed to rebuild the code everytime you build
a kernel. Just ship the ucode and remove the aicasm subtree from kernel.
Perhaps mrproper makes things too clean, and just should leave there the
sequencer code.

May be. But it's not a reason to use the _OBSOLETE_ library. At least the
current one should be used...

Not all vendors ship db3. I'm not sure its a stunning improvement, but its
the right first step. Will apply

Alan, AFAICS they never remove entries, they only do adds and lookups by
string key and they keep the whole thing in memory all the time. Oh, and
they don't give it too hard use, to put it mildly.
IOW, I'm pretty sure that even a LRU list will be sufficient. Hash definitely
will be enough. Any *db is an overkill here - it's a symbol table, for fsck
sake...

Al

No, just the vt82c686. vt82c686a and vt82c686b are OK.
