<<< Questo messaggio e' la parte 3 di un precedente messaggio >>>

edge and level interrupts are handled by the APIC hardware and
this should allow to handle them transparently from software.
My opinion is that the current code has been suggested by
people who are confusing real-time and messed-time. ;-)

Things like disable_interrupt(irq) seems suspicious to me.
Imagine that a level interrupt, that have been accepted by
a local APIC but donnot have been yet dispensed to the CPU,
is so blindly masked. In such a situation the CPU may try
to handle an interrupt with no interrupt actually pending.

BTW, the way edge interrupts are disabled by the current apic
code is explicitely stated as 'should not' by intel docs.

Anyway, these spurious interrupts should'nt make problems,
I think, and are just, IMO, the punishment for the way the
apic code is currently implemented.

Gerard.

Subject: [SOUND] Aztech Sound Galaxy broken/not supported?

Hi all..

Recently I aquired an all in one, plug and play, internal modem &
soundcard. The soundcard is an Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16, which
is documented to be supported in drivers/sound/sgalaxy.c.

Is there anyone out there successfully using this driver? If so I would
greatly appreciate even an "it works for me".. But I doubt this as
sgalaxy.c wouldn't even compile in 2.1.103. (i had to make some trivial
patches)..

I have managed to get isapnp to activate the card, as I have been
successfully using the internal plug and play modem to dial into the net.
After insmodding sound, ad1848.. I try to insmod sgalaxy io=0x220 irq=7
dma=1 dma2=5 sgbase=0x534, and it fails giving some quite generic error
which I can't quite remember at the moment (resource busy?) I've tried
swapping the values of io and sgbase, and at a hunch tried using 0x530
instead of 0x534, but to no avail..

Thanks in advance..

Dave.

Smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol.
This is the protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or
Lan Manager use to talk to each other. It was inspired by
samba, the program by Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix
site into a file server for DOS or Windows clients.
.
This smbmount utilities will only work with kernels > 2.1.70.

Right. Thanks. When I get round to sorting it out and producing a binary RPM
that works with a non-pgcc-compiled glibc (sorry, folks), I'll call it smbfsx,
too.

One thing you could try, maybe it helps: get new net-tools and do
(replacing ppp0 with your ppp device)

/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 txqueuelen 3

after the connection is up.

Yes I have the same problem with 2.0.33. The magic window size is 13140,
up to this size I get no stalls.

Here is what happens in 2.1.103 with the default window:- stalls of about
20 secs.

Subject: 2.0.34p15/16 stuck sockets

Hi,

I reported a socket stuck in "ESTABLISHED" the other day. I now believe
this to have been cause by the oopses generated when a network interface
is dropped and the module removed.

This is a nasty bug. Here are some oopses I generated by doing this while
upgrading the driver yesterday. By some miracle after this spurt of nasty
oopses, including one of the "Aieeee" variety, the machine is still alive,
and, er, fine :)

Cheers
Chris
