Re: [lc-devel] hello

[curious <cu...@pb...>]

no, i don't have.

latest development patch corrupts filesystem though.
i though it is porting to 21rc2-ac1 then i thought it is -20
fault (because i fall back to -20)
i did all of this on  my perfectly non-smp laptop ofcourse :)
then i concluded -20 is also causing problems or it's your patch
so i tried to use last stable 0.23 on -20
it gave me same results (i tried to execute links and it oopsed)

then i moved to pure 2.4.19 and apllied latest testing patch.
no success.
links caused kernel BUG @ filemap.c :/
i learned to mount all ro, and only /tmp and /var rw after my
first try when 21rc2-ac1+ccache
totally damaged files which were never written to on ext2
filesystem... (like libraries)

then i got a hint and set compcache=0M and it caused kernel only
to hang.

now i am trying to compile 2.4.19 with cvs version, and check.

then i'll start off first stable release with 2.4.19 to check
wheter this is some new feature not working, or .19 mismerge
then i'll try to use .18 branch of patches...

i am reading mail in meantime ofcourse , so feel free to ask
questions/suggest other testing.

i have no problems when i use 2.4.21rc2-ac1 kernel without
ccache, so i exclde any kernel problems/hardware issues
