Subject: Linux 2.4.25-pre4


Hi,

Moving on with the 2.4.24-pre tree, here is 2.4.25-pre4.

It contains an ext2/3 update (mostly forward compatibility related), the
usual architecture updates (this time S390, PPC64/32, SH), osst update,
TG3 bugfixes, amongst others.

Some of the fixes listed in this changelog (the rtc fixes, the IrDA "log
buster" fix and the netfilter MASQUERADE oops) were already in other
-pre's, they got removed and re added for technical BK reasons.

Is this a known issue and megaraids can't live together, or am I
supposed to be able to compile both drivers in and this is a bug?

yes, this is known and expected. You can build both as modules, but
they're not intended to both be loaded simultaneously (either built-in
or as modules). They're mutually exclusive.

Below is a patch to tell the config system not to alllow illegal

This way you disallow using both as modules.
2.4 config language generally does not support back references, so it is
safer to do sth like this:


dep_tristate 'AMI MegaRAID support' CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID $CONFIG_SCSI
if [ "$CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID" = "m" ]
define_tristate CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID2_DEP m
else
define_tristate CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID2_DEP y
fi
if [ "$CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID" != "y" ]
dep_tristate 'AMI MegaRAID2 support' CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID2 $CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID2_DEP $CONFIG_SCSI
fi



Using the same variable name in many interactive definitions breaks xconfig.

alloc_netdev func can return NULL and I think that is

I think he meant for the 2.4.26-pre tree.

And it wont happen anymore. After saying that I would merge it, I decided
(based on input from sct and tytso) that we don't want htree in 2.4.x.
