sparse 0.4.1
by Roland McGrath
Dave asked me to ping when sparse got updated. 0.4.1 is built, [78] updates
should get pushed RSN. This presumably works with the kernel source again.

Adding a pointrelease option to the spec
by Chuck Ebbert
This might be useful for people building their own kernels:

# that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example,

+# You may also add a "pointrelease" with or without the "buildid"

help! My re-compiled kernel always got crashed in a machine with scsi/sata disk
by Feng Xian
Thanks for all your help. I ran into another problem.
My 16-core machine has a scsi/sata disk. I have enabled all important
features related with scsi and sata. I built 2.6.23 kernel on this machine.
But the kernel always got crashed randomly. Sometimes it couldnot even boot,
reporting some random errors, like "segment violation, sleep for 40
seconds", or "Group volume VolGroup00 uses lvm2 metadata: read-only", then
jump to a strange login window that I cannot log in using my root password.
Another thing is that Linux works perfect if I installed Fecore Core 7 on
this multi-core machine with scsi/sata disk. Why it didnt work if I used
re-compiled kernel. I guess it is because I didnt config kernel right
(although I enabled all important features related with scsi/sata) in "make
menuconfig". If you happen to know how to enable scsi/sata features
correctly, please let me know. Thanks!
Below is my grub.conf related to 2.6.23 kernel.

How to build smp kernel
by Feng Xian
Hi,
I had a 16-core machine and tried to build a smp version of
linux-2.6.23 kernel. I did the following steps:
1. make menuconfig ( actually I didt change the configuration since it
builds SMP support by default)
2. make; make modules; make modules_install; make install
But the final image file is vmlinuz-2.6.23, not vmlinuz-2.6.23smp. Is
this final image a real smp kernel? If not, do i need to apply
patches. Thanks!
Feng

hello!
by am kara
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am looking for a patch or a new code for Fast
Ethernet Controller physical driver located at
drivers/net/e100.c, Linux kernel 2.6.23, with Large
Send Support(TCP Segmentation Offload), adaptor: Intel
PRO/100 M,82551QM.
I wonder if you know such driver exist and where to
obtain its source code.
Thank you to read my email,
