Linux 2.2.0-pre3 is available 96
specht (Karl Heinz Kremer) was the first to write
in and tell the world that yet another pre2.2 kernel has
hit the wire. Go snag it quick and hammer on it.
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.

pre2 gave me very few problems that a recompile with different options took care of (Cyrix 6x86 non-MX does NOT work with MTRR, and the SoftOSS drivers don't seem to like my SB16). Other than that and

in front of line 1055 put

Replace 150000000 with whatever your clockspeed is in hz.
To get the sb module loaded specify values for io, irq, dma, and dma16. The io value should be a hex number starting in 0x, like this
insmod sb io=0x220 irq=10 dma=1 dma16=5
I doubt these obscure bugs are going to ever get fixed.

Of course, I picked up the 3.20 version of the quake driver, so that might have something to do with it too...
What sort of problems are you encountering with yours? I saw some chatter on Linux kernel earlier about specifying IRQ, DMA and DMA16 specs during the modprobe stage.

I strongly suggest that everyone also visit www.linuxhq.com [linuxhq.com] and look at the CHANGES area under the 2.1.x kernel area. Upgrading to those packages will solve a lot of problems before they arise.
FWIW - I'm running 2.2.0pre2 at present, and the only complaint I have is that lockd seems to crap out and not let /usr get unmounted on reboot. =(

on my Pentium 166 MMX; the sequencer was way out of sync, MIDIs and MODs (xmp with AWE support) played 5 times faster than they should have, plus
my "ps" command showed some fucked up results; half my processes appeared to take 99% of the CPU time, and the total CPU time consumed was _really_ messed up.
What results have you had with 1024 hz timeslices?

I'm not complaining -- after that period we got a series of kernels which have been superb. I'm sure that the 2.2.* kernels will become mature and then they'll be great. I just wouldn't run 2.2.0 on any machine that I use for anything more important than playing Super Nintendo cartridges.

ok.. at Altavista I entered the following query +linux +kernel, There were 535980 reference to "kernel" and 236646 reference to "linux". Now I don t know about you but I m programmer who works
on things other than linux for a living..gasp..so it s not a priority to spend hours sifting though webpages to find the latest information on the linux kernel....
Second..Because of linux s amorphous nature, information is dispersed all across the internet. Because of this, sometimes more inexperienced users will often ask questions that might be
obvious to more seasoned linux users. Responses to these questions that contain no useful information other then the sentiment RTFM don t do the linux community any good and will/could turn potential users away from considering Linux as a viable operating system. I personally would love to see my boss,clients and friends adding linux partitions to their machines at home/work and when they do I plan on fielding
everyone of their questions in a kind and informative manner.

Regardless of what you bunch of anonymous lamers think, the man has a point.
Nobody bothers to look anything up on a fucking search site any more, they fire up Free Agent or mIRC and bother people with stupid questions.
90% of the time those questions are answered by a man page, a HOWTO, or
9% of the time you can find an answer after a couple of minutes on the search engines.
That other 1% of the time are the only questions that people should be wasting my time with in IRC or Usenet, or here on
If you can't be bothered to RTFM, you shouldn't be using Linux, plain and simple. It's the best-documented operating system in the history of mankind, so RTFM or FOAD.
