Works since over an year perfectly. ----------------------------------- 2.2.19pre15aa1 (same effect with 2.4.2pre?): neither telnet nor mount -t nfs work, rebooting to 2.2.19pre7aa1, _all_ works always perfectly. Checked with 3c59x as module, without modules, with/without Andrea's change, rien ne va plus. gcc-2.95.3.test3, all kernels since test1 compiled with in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile: ifdef CONFIG_M686 CFLAGS := ... -march=i686 ... in place of -m486 (stolen from 2.4.2pre?) All machines PIII550, 2 UP's 512MB mem, 1 SMP Dual 1024MB. glib-2.1.3 base old SuSE 6.4 with many updgrades via sources *.tar.gz/*tar.bz2, never with rpm! Not in lkml, CC if necessary. I will do every test is needed/requested !!! Regards and many thanks Mario PS Why _all_ machines swap copying 545MB, 5 files ~115MB, from a mounted /cdrom to /tmp? With the newest kernels! AT&T SVR2...3.2 in over 12 years newer swapped with cp(1). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
