Hi!
Are *you* currently using a 2.2.x kernel on a Alpha with SRM firmware?
If so, I'd kindly like to ask you to test a backport of my srm_env.o
(used to access SRM environment variables). If you give it a try, please
report success, no success and ksymoopsed Oopses to me:-)
Here's the patch. It still has some warnings about not-used functions
(init/exit function, #define'd here to init_module and cleanup_module),
but seems I don't see the point... Could someone please enlighten me on
this?
MfG, JBG

+SRM environment access through procfs
+CONFIG_SRM_ENV
+ If you enable this option, a subdirectory inside /proc called
+ /proc/srm_environment will give you access to the all important
+ SRM environment variables (those which have a name) and also
+ to all others (by their internal number).
+
+ SRM is something like a BIOS for Alpha machines. There are some
+ other such BIOSes, like AlphaBIOS, which this driver cannot
+ support (hey, that's not SRM!).
+
+ Despite the fact that this driver doesn't work on all Alphas (but
+ only on those which have SRM as their firmware), it's save to
+ build it even if your particular machine doesn't know about SRM
+ (or if you intend to compile a generic kernel). It will simply
+ not create those subdirectory in /proc (and give you some warning,
+ of course).
+
+ This driver is also available as a module and will be called
+ srm_env.o then.

+ * Changelog
+ * ~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * Tue, 08 Oct 2002 20:10:21 +0200
+ * - Port srm_env to 2.2.x.
+ * - This is v0.0.5-2.2.x-1 (1st try...)
+ *
+ * Thu, 22 Aug 2002 15:10:43 +0200
+ * - Update Config.help entry. I got a number of emails asking
+ * me to tell their senders if they could make use of this
+ * piece of code... So: "SRM is something like BIOS for your
+ * Alpha"
+ * - Update code formatting a bit to better conform CodingStyle
+ * rules.
+ * - So this is v0.0.5, with no changes (except formatting)
+ *
+ * Wed, 22 May 2002 00:11:21 +0200
+ * - Fix typo on comment (SRC -> SRM)
+ * - Call this "Version 0.0.4"
+ *
+ * Tue, 9 Apr 2002 18:44:40 +0200
+ * - Implement access by variable name and additionally
+ * by number. This is done by creating two subdirectories
+ * where one holds all names (like the old directory
+ * did) and the other holding 256 files named like "0",
+ * "1" and so on.
+ * - Call this "Version 0.0.3"
+ *
