Adding interrupt handler to FC3
by fdl＠scottl.com
Hello,
I am trying to add my own interrupt handler to FC3. I have tried two methods
of modifying the IDT, both of which work under most kernels I've tried (incl
the 2.6.9 vanilla kernel) but fail under the FC3 kernel (2.6.9-1.667). I've
also tried the FC3 kernel with the alternate security models off, and large
memory support off, but I have the same problem. Although I haven't tried it
yet personally, I've been told that some code I have working on the vanilla
2.6.9 kernel works fine under FC4.
Method 1 is to just modify the IDT in place. This causes a segfault on FC3.
Method 2 is to make a copy of the IDT, modify the copy, and then use lidt to
change the IDT used by the processor to the copy. This causes an immediate
reboot on FC3.
Any pointers on what I might be doing wrong? What is the "correct" or
"officially supported" way of adding an interrupt handler on FC3?
Thanks for any pointers (or sample code :)

Fill-in PDF forms.
by Sam Varshavchik
I'm encountering more and more fill-in PDF forms.
Is there a PDF viewer that supports fill-in forms?
I know about Adobe's reader, of course, but I'd prefer to use free software.

applying a patch
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi,
One of the kernel developpers has sent me a patch to diagnosys a problem
on a notebook on wich the BIOS is very poor (just a few settings
possible)
I would like to use the patch, but in a kernel src.rpm.
I know building simple rpms, but here, it seems to be a bit more
complicated.
I attached the patch.
I just
- copied the .patch file into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES,
- added a #1305 patch (just after #1304) into the spec file
- applyied the #1305 (also just after #1304) into the specfile
the problem is:
__________________________________________________
$ rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
[...]
Patch #1305 (8139too-napi-revert.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
8 out of 12 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34513 (%prep)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34513 (%prep)

have the resulting code accepted and integrated into the standard linux
kernel"
But I am not able to install it as it provides no information regarding

path problem

Hi,

nfs tree install methos
by Willem Riede
I want to install FC5-devel. Booting from boot.iso, I get to choose an
installation method, but with both NFS image and FTP I get told only NFS tree
installs are supported - that would be fine, but "NFS tree" is not a method
that is available in the method menu...
What am I missing?
Thanks, Willem Riede.
