I apologize for not being able to get a report out last week; I'm in the
middle of a career change (anyone need a system administrator?). I've
(mostly) kept up with traffic, but there are a lot of older items I've not
been able to close out.
The latest version of this list is kept at:
http://members.cox.net/tmolina/kernprobs/status.html
It will remain there until mid-December when I move and lose Cox internet
access. I'll be moving to [email protected] which is a dialup with no
web page included (They are Linux-friendly though - they don't require
special software). I haven't decided yet whether to get a domain and a
web-hosting service, although there are some out there which don't cost
much for minimal storage.
I'm hoping most of the older items can be closed out or eliminated. I'm
sending a bcc to each with a report on the list.

No movement, and I don't particular see there's going to be any movement
on this one. There are too many variables that changed around the time
that the serial code went in to allow the cause to be isolated.

Awaiting feedback from Andrew Walrond; the code as of 2.5.46 allows
better remote debugging of wrong/mis-detections.

Not my problem - it looks like something else is trampling on %ebx,
although Zwane/myself are at a loss to locate the cause of that.
(%ebx = "up" pointer, which must have been valid a few instructions
previous to even get to this point in the code. Could it be a compiler
bug?)

This one is solved. I sent a patch to davem.
See that it already is in Linus' current bk.

That's the old xconfig and it's obsolete by now.

Another one. Maybe I shoudl try to push my full console changes.

Should be fixed in next fbdev update.

Fixed. I have updated this driver and it is fully working :-)

Should be also fixed.

There was apparently a patch to fix this that didn't get included with
2.5.47. I'm not sure if it's a correct fix or not, but it did stop the
crashes for my machine.
Here it is.

No update since I haven't had time to do any qd65xx testing in a while.
I strongly believe the bug is due to the fact that "ide=qd65xx" and
similar IDE chipset selection options are processed very very early in
the boot process, long before IDE's normal init.

This bug is still present in 2.5.47.

That one is a duplicate of the ide-dma oops I reported:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103675019320066&w=2
Alan stated he had IDE updates that would fix this.

Sort of half fixed in 2.5.47.

I have updates that will fix some stuff, not this one. I know why this
occurs. Its trivial to make it go away, it requires some major work to
make it go away properly in the context of SATA and hotswap.
The latest patches split the ide registratio code from the ide i/o code.
Its now possible to read all the registration code in one place. I'm now
commenting it ready to rip it to shreds.
And yes now ide.c in 2.5.47-ac1 is basically just the registration code
it must qualify for some of the ugliest code in the kernel ;)
