Re: [2.1.120-1] works fine, ipv4 seems a bit faster

Actually, it did occurr to me that my measure for ipv4 speed was pretty
subjective. I guess next time I'll write 'seems vaguely faster.' Thats
why I used the word 'seems'. Unfortunately, I don't have a WAN which I
can cache stuff on, so I can't do that more rigorous test for you.
Sorry 'bout that. However, if ANK was working with the ACK stuff, then
this could 1) make connections faster and 2) have a bug.

As for the guy who couldn't boot:

Did 2.1.119 work for you? the pre=patch-2.1.120-1 didn't change any
disk stuff, just net stuff, so I would THINK that you'd have the same
problems with 2.1.119. Perhaps you would have saved a little trouble if
you'd have looked at the patch first ;)

My system is:
EIDE, PPRo 166, SB16, glibc

hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
