Linux 2.2.2 Released 116
Dave Miller, the ultracool hacker who does (definitely) work at Red Hat,
wrote in to let us know Linux 2.2.2 has been released. A summary
of changes should appear on Cutting Edge Linux
shortly. This new kernel should fix the recent autofs bug (fixed in ac7).
Update: 02/22 11:35 by J :Dave Whitinger, the guy behind the fabulous Linux Today site, wrote in
with the linux-kernel-announce(ment).
Update: 02/24 03:13 by CT : Dave Miller does work at Red Hat.

Journaling is... (Score:1)
When a file is written, an entry is first made to the journal indicating what was to be written, then an attempt is made at writing to the filesystem, if the write was successful then the journal entry is removed or marked done else the write can be attempted again or rolled back.
In the case of an error in the filesystem, the journal can be used to bring it back into sane state.
Think of journaling as a form of transaction processing for a filesystem. This is my understanding of the process.
NTFS is a journaling filesystem with advanced Access Control Lists. It's the best and only real thing that NT has going for it; too bad the rest of the OS has so many problems. When NTFS read/write is available for Linux then we can say that Linux is a better NT than NT? --- Note play on words...

Typically, UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, a very close approximation to GMT) is taken as the standard time. I gather astronomers prefer sidereal time, possibly even in America. HTH.
Oh yeah, this conversion table [bcca.org] might come in handy some time.

Hardware: generic ET6000 / 2.25 MB; SB AWE64 PnP.
Software: linux 2.2.2; glibc 2.0.7; svgalib 1.3.1; Quake 2 v. 3.19 (glibc).
Quake 2 works fine with Linux 2.0.33, but freezes in 2.2.[12], leaving the system unusable so I have to reboot.
Based on the comments so far, it sounds like this has to do with sound or glibc or both.
If anyone else wants to share his experience, I'd appreciate it.

Sound in 2.2.1 (Score:1)
I'm running a SB16 PnP which worked fine under 2.0.36, but which doesn't work under 2.2.1. I get the fabled "device or resource busy" when initializing the sb module (it's choking on the DMA address). Has anyone had any luck with a similar setup? Is this fixed in 2.2?

I wouldn't be surprised if someone found a way to create memmgr.o and then change that while the system was running. OK, so I would be impressed.

I have a Cyrix CPU. I've had problems with the 2.2.1 kernel too (random hangs and reboots). Does this have to do with Cyrix maybe? I've read articles about some undocumented 'hang-cyrix-opcodes', but why would any program include anything like that?

AFAIK Gates never said this. This sentence was uttered by some chairman of IBM who was responsible for hardware limit of 640 KB of directly adressable memory. Again, AFAIK these words were said when he was asked if he thinks 640k limit will have the same fate as 64k limit did. As we all know 640k limit got to the same place but much faster due to accelerated speed of technical progress.

Luck with SB16PnP (Score:1)
On advice from a HOWTO, i downloaded and compiled isapnptools-1.17. pnpdump --config gave the expected output, so i just redirected to isapnp.conf to save myself some work.
Compiled the kernel with sound as a module. Ended up with adlib_card.o, opl3.o, sb.o, soundcore.o, sound.o, and uart401.o in
Finally, i put in a script to initilize the thing on boot.
#!
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Setting up sound card..."
# Plug n Play config
isapnp
# Install basic sound modules
insmod soundcore
insmod sound
# init'ize uart thing, because sb needs it
insmod uart401
# Set up the actual sound card! Pulled numbers out of isapnp.conf
insmod sb io=0x220 irq=9 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x300 type=6
# Midi support. Note that this automatically loads opl3.o as well
modprobe adlib_card io=0x388
echo "Done."
esac
exit 0
i'm not sure how many of those insmods could be done with modprobe, don't feel much like changing it because it works fine as-is for me.
