Just wanted to know if this can help. I'm running 2.1.128 on a p54c-133
and I haven't experienced any of the lockups others are experiencing.
kernel is compiled with gcc 2.8.1 and UP.
my machine is scsi and 1 ide drive
i tried running find /usr -type f -print | fork-test 2 at the same time
on the linux console and in an xterm while compiling kernel 2.1.129p4
and on a different console the modules and trying to floodping myself
with ping -f 10.255.255.255
(yes i also have a buggy ping).
10:37pm up 0:25, 7 users, load average: 3.06, 2.19, 1.39
10:37pm up 0:25, 7 users, load average: 2.98, 2.20, 1.41
10:40pm up 0:28, 7 users, load average: 2.38, 2.31, 1.58
never experienced any hangs.. the kernel never compiled though.. neither
did the modules
seems like some things weren't defined oh well.. next time better :)
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.1.128/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486
-malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DMODULE -c -o
ide-scsi.o
ide-scsi.c
ide-scsi.c: In function descsi_ioctl':
ide-scsi.c:633: SG_SET_TRANSFORM' undeclared (first use in this
function)
sg.c: In function sg_ioctl':
sg.c:98: SG_EMULATED_HOST' undeclared (first use in this function)
thanx for listening :)
